How do I display a British Pound Sign in Sir Coldfusion

[pacastle]

In a web article of coldfusion shopping cart, Webmonkey's Coldfusion Shopping Cart makes use of dollarformat but when you type poundformat or stirlingformat is produces an error.

For the pound sign to display you need to escape it, so type two of them in a row (##).

To display Pound sterling sign use £ escape characters Sylvano

Or you can use LSCurrencyFormat(); the function will return a currency value using the locale convention. Default value is "local."

Syntax
LSCurrencyFormat(number [, type ])

number
The currency value.

type
Currency type. Valid arguments are:

none -- (For example, 10.00)
local -- (Default. For example, $10.00)
international -- (For example, USD10.00)

English (UK)
Local: £100,000.00
International: GBP100,000.00
None: 100,000.00

I've used the Webmonkey cart - and had the same question. This is what I did and it works...... use numberformat and add the pound sign before.

<td align=right><font face=&quot;arial&quot; size=2>&pound;#numberformat(subtotal)#</font></td>
