- [[Nothing here yet]
+ The string datatype corresponds to the java.lang.String class.
+ 
+ Strings obviously don't support any convertors, since there's no purpose in converting a string to a string.
- [[Nothing here yet]
+ The long datatype corresponds to the java.math.Long class.
+ 
+ It has similar convertors as the decimal datatype (see below).
+ 
+ !!decimal datatype
+ 
+ The decimal datatype corresponds to the java.math.BigDecimal class.
+ 
+ It supports the following convertors:
+ 
+ !formatting
+ 
+ This convertor uses the java.text.DecimalFormat class (or com.ibm.icu.text.DecimalFormat class if it is present in the classpath). This means it can perform locale-dependent, pattern-based formatting of numbers.
+ 
+ Configuration pseudo-schema:
+ {{{
+ <wd:convertor type="formatting" variant="integer|number|currency|percent" ? >
+   <wd:patterns>
+     <wd:pattern>....</wd:pattern> ?
+     <wd:pattern locale="lang-COUNTRY">....</wd:pattern> *
+   </wd:patterns> ?
+ </wd:convertor>
+ }}}
+ 
+ The variant attribute and patterns element are optional. By default, the "number" variant is used (or for longs: the "integer" variant).
+ 
+ You can supply either a locale-independent formatting pattern or locale-dependent formatting patterns. See the [javadoc of the DecimalFormat|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/text/DecimalFormat.html] class for the supported pattern syntax. Woody will always use the pattern that is most specific for the current locale.
+ 
+ !plain
+ 
+ This convertor is not locale-dependent. It shows the full precision of the number and uses dot as the decimal separator.
- The date datatype corresponds to the java.util.Date type. This means it can be used both for dates as times.
