I'm looking to format numbers so they always show only 5 digits total.
So that 1.234567 and 987.6543 and 12345.678 would look like:
1.2345
987.65
12345
I know the numbers are never higher than 5 digits on the left side. Regards,T

Should `1.234567` be rounded to `1.2346`? Because your example doesn't indicate so (depending on your rounding convention perhaps). – Feb 29 '16 at 19:53

doesn't do the trick actually. You're correct the first one should round to 1.2346. – Tanguy Bretagne Mar 02 '16 at 16:18

With the above trick (`"{:.5g}".format(x)`, I can get 1.2346, 987.65 and 12346. That seems to do what you want. – Mar 02 '16 at 22:37

my bad your latest actually does the trick. – Tanguy Bretagne Mar 03 '16 at 12:52
