How do I use patterns with convertNumber?

Question

I am trying to use the f:convertNumber tag. I want to use multiple patterns. I see you can do that with the date tag and the color tag. Is there any way to do it with the convertNumber tag without creating a custom tag.

My problem is I want to be able to accept $ signs or no $ sign for my input.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

For the dollar sign (if the number is a currencty), you can try:

<f:convertNumber currencySymbol="$" type="currency" />

And for any pattern you can:

<f:convertNumber pattern=".." />
