In similar posts, I've seen Django mentioned, but it uses curly brackets and not <>

I have a variable that is displaying numbers like:

10.0000

I am trying to get it to display the equivalent of number_format() in PHP - but I don't know what language this is to achieve it.

<%= number_format(variable,2); %>

was not successful. Nothing in the error logs saying why/what was wrong, the page just broke.

For reference, when I view the source code of the page I see this code raw, it doesn't obfuscate like PHP does.

  • The percent signs look like ASP -- your question is vague, how do you not know what language to use for that formatting, but you are still running the page somehow? Commented Jan 12, 2017 at 23:07
  • well yes, but we cant see your code, and while template X may use that structure so may template z,d,e,ty,u and Y so no one can know which it is. Also it may not be any open source template library at all Commented Jan 12, 2017 at 23:08
  • I posted a code sample in the title. As I mentioned in a previous comment, the tpl file came in an existing code system. It isn't something I wrote. Commented Jan 12, 2017 at 23:14

It's http://www.embeddedjs.com/ thanks to jade template tag bracket percentage definition

I originally missed this thread as stackoverflow doesn't recognize <% as a search term. Located the thread via searx.

I can't yet accept this as an answer. So if anyone else comes across this thread, it's this.
so not php at all then
No, I included PHP in the original question since the codebase is PHP, assuming it may be some templating type for PHP.

Might be Twig, it's a templating engine for PHP.

It supports the <% %> syntax and has the number_format() function

The system uses twig for .tpl files (this code is in a .tpl file), but the others have strictly html & php in them. I used searx and found this thread: stackoverflow.com/questions/28256371/…

Could be twig as mentioned above, is the common .erb syntax in ruby.

@RiggsFolly, he mentions Django in his original question and asks what templating language uses <%= %>. Django is python, embedded ruby isn't really out of the question here.
