Hello Community,

we have an Online Shop on eBay and we using a Template for it.

This template should show the customer the price of the article.

In the Template(which is written in Smarty and HTML) is the following function:

<div class="slimshade shadesofdarkgrey">
<h2 id="hFoot">Jetzt für nur [{$auctionPrice|string_format:"%.2f"}] EUR bei uns auf eBay!</h2>
</div>

Can you please describe me what he is doing here ?
Im an absolutly Newbie in this section.
The language from this sentence is german.

Im glad when you help me.

Thanks

Nothing arcane is going on in there.
The only deviation from default Smarty setup I noticed is an apparent use of custom Smarty delimiters ("[{ }]" instead of default "{ }").
The variable containing the price is printed and formatted as a floating-point, even though such a formatting is least desirable for a price.

See Smarty documentation for details.
