==Syntax==<br />
<pre><nowiki><br />
{{#dplnum:text}}<br />
</nowiki></pre><br />
<br />
==Effect==<br />
Tries to guess a number that is buried in the text.<br />
Uses a set of heuristic rules which may work or not.<br />
<br />
The idea is to extract the number so that it can be used as a sorting value in the column of a DPL table output.<br />
<br />
==Example==<br />
<nowiki> {{#dplnum:this is 4711 a text with a number}} </nowiki> returns: {{#dplnum:this is 4711 a text with a number}}<br />
<nowiki> {{#dplnum:well above 47 Mio. US$}} </nowiki> returns: {{#dplnum:well above 47 Mio US$}}<br />
<nowiki> {{#dplnum:13 Mrd}} </nowiki> returns: {{#dplnum:13 Mrd}}<br />
<nowiki> {{#dplnum:it is 47,123 Mio}} </nowiki> returns: {{#dplnum:it is 47,123 Mio}}<br />
<nowiki> {{#dplnum:it is 47.123,56}} </nowiki> returns: {{#dplnum:it is 47.123}}<br />
<nowiki> {{#dplnum:it is 47,000}} </nowiki> returns: {{#dplnum:it is 47,000}}<br />
<nowiki> {{#dplnum:it is 4.13}} </nowiki> returns: {{#dplnum:it is 4.13}}<br />
<nowiki> {{#dplnum:it is 4,13}} </nowiki> returns: {{#dplnum:it is 4,13}}<br />
<nowiki> {{#dplnum:it is 0,13}} </nowiki> returns: {{#dplnum:it is 0,13}}</div>Scientific Guy
