A numerical expression that Meteobridge should evaluate needs to be enclosed by <font face="Courier"><span style="background-color:lightgrey;">{*</span></font face> and <font face="Courier"><span style="background-color:lightgrey;">*}</span></font face>. The enclosed expression can also include template variables. This allows to do various computations with numerical data. Resulting value is returned with two decimals. You can define how many digits the return value should have by stating the number of decimals betwenn the * and } when closing the numerical expression. For example, <font face="Courier"><span style="background-color:lightgrey;">*0}</span></font face> does set number of decimals to 0, which will return a rounded integer value. When you are looking for a non-rounded, truncated integer then <font face="Courier"><span style="background-color:lightgrey;">*t}</span></font face> will do the job.

Numerical Expressions
A numerical expression that Meteobridge should evaluate needs to be enclosed by {* and *}. The enclosed expression can also include template variables. This allows to do various computations with numerical data. Resulting value is returned with two decimals. You can define how many digits the return value should have by stating the number of decimals betwenn the * and } when closing the numerical expression. For example, *0} does set number of decimals to 0, which will return a rounded integer value. When you are looking for a non-rounded, truncated integer then *t} will do the job. When you need an output with a certain number of leading zeros, you can specify this the same way as explained in "Decimals" paragraph on this page.
