Formatting small and medium numbers on JSP pages

1. Introduction

<% @ Taglib uri = "http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/fmt" prefix = "FMT" %>

2. Usage:

<FMT: formatnumber value = "$ {entry. pretaxprize/100}" pattern = "##. #" minfractiondigits = "2"/>

The value here is of any numeric type, and pattern is the format to be displayed. Here it is the last two digits after the decimal point. minfractiondigits = "2" indicates the exact number of digits. remember, the values here are obtained by rounding, not completely accurate! It can be used in the C: foreach label.
