Printing % with format

[scifer 10]

I want to print "%" character in a format command like:

hint format["Percent: %1%", _percent];

So it would print "Percent: 10%";

How do I do that?

Can't remember if this works:

hint format["Percent: %1%2", _percent, "%"];

Can't remember if this works:

hint format["Percent: %1%2", _percent, "%"];

Yes. It works. But it's less convenient to me :(

There might be a special expression like "\n".

Didnt test, but I think you can escape the % by putting something like (maybe even %%% dont remember):

hint format["Percent: %1%%", _percent];

Use parseText and the HTML encoding HTML: %

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent_sign#Encodings

_percent = 50;
hint parseText format["<t> Percent: %1%</t>", _percent];

Output hint: Percent 50%
