I understand from the Depot application how to format the output to have 2 places (or n places for that matter) decimal. Now, I"m wondering about the input. It''s more natural for people to enter numbers as

I''m trying to convince a co-founder of the startup I''m working on that rails is the new black, or possibly the next sliced bread. Does rails ship with doc, or the API? I can''t even figure out how to download it from api.rubyonrails.com, or if that''s possible. When I look in C:\ruby\lib\ruby\gems\1.8\gems\rails-1.1.2\doc I see nothing of use. I have to admit

Alternatively, if you can say "this is bloody impossible, because....", that would be helpful, too. --Al Evans
