> I'm trying to get the shortest representation of a decimal number, rounded to .01, not using scientific/exponential notation. I'm using values computed in ELisp to produce CSS style sheets, which until recently didn't allow for exponential notation. I'd like these stylesheets to be readable, so 100% is better 100.00%, and 3.35em is better than 3.35004em. If my code is fed a value of 5000px, I don't want it converted to 5e+3px, because many browsers don't know how to parse that.
Then I think you want to use %d for integral values and %.2f for the
rest.
