It | "rc=y" is a '''new parameter for MX''', the attribute '''rc''' takes the value 'y' to replace any commas defined by the locale with full stops to separate integer and decimal parts of the output value. It was initially only implemented on a few new web tags (#MoonPercent, #MoonPercentAbs, #MoonAge) for MX versions up to and including 3.5.3. From version 3.6.6 only can all web tags that can output real numbers can now use alternative syntax of <tt><#tag_name rc=y></tt> to replace all commas in the output by a full stop (don't worry, MX does not use a comma for separating off thousands, so it is the decimal comma that becomes a decimal full stop like character when this remove comma specifier is used. | ||
