German number format in tables?

German number format in tables?

[Rainer Hansen]

Hi,

I wonder what I need to do to so that I can work with the German number format 
in tables?

E.g. instead of writing 100,000.00 I would like to write 100.000,00.

All automatic formatting and calculations of Org-Mode  should of course still 
be fine. The output of calculations should also be shown in German number 
format.

Regards,
Rainer

I don't think calc can write such formats.  Much worse, it cannot
read them back in.

If this is for publishing, your best bet would be to write
a function that will change this during publishing and hook
it into the publishing preprocessor.  In an Org-buffer, writing
numbers like this would be a very bad idea.
