Hi,

I put all the number patches together and installed it on our dev server so
my colleagues could try out the new system. They were excited.

Good! ;)


One comment I got back was that percentages should work:
   #if($Value.Result == 75%)

No way! ;) Seriously, I don't like the idea and I am *strongly* against it. You should better teach the people to write 0.75 ;) I don't think much people expect this to work. As Nathan already said: Let's not start a featuritis.

Although not standard Java syntax, many numerical programs (such as Excel,
our own simulation language, and even a hand calculator) accept a percentage
as part of a number. Anyone mind if I add this to the floating point
literal spec?

Yes, me ;)


Regards,

Peter
