Is there a django template filter to display percentages?

Question

I would like something similar to the string formatting from the standard library.

'%' Percentage. Multiplies the number by 100 and displays in fixed ('f') format, followed by a percent sign.

Answer 1

Maybe you can use stringformat template filter.

Answer 2

The newness of string.Formatter() means that Django is not likely to support it built-in. Either write or find a template tag or filter that implements it.

Answer 3

In case somebody is looking for the answser, this is how I solved the problem with a custom templatetag:

from django import template

register = template.Library()

@register.filter
def percentage(decimal):
    return format(decimal, "%")
