See "man -s3 printf". The GNM_FORMAT_ part simply adds the "L" modifier when long doubles are in play in addition to the g/G/e/G/f/F.
"E" vs "e": most places it doesn't matter, but for user visible places it is a matter of tradition and Excel compatibility. Why 2+ digits for exponents? Don't know -- probably history and tradition. If you don't like the extra "0", it's an easy and clean post-process step to remove it. _______________________________________________ gnumeric-list mailing list gnumeric-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnumeric-list
