{{invokes|sprintf}}
A subtemplate of [[Template:Sprintf]], that only takes one argument and automatically uses <code>#expr</code> on it.

Provides access to the lua [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#string.format string.format] function.

==Usage==
<pre>{{Sprintfexpr|format string|param}}</pre>

The format string is specified according to [https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#string.format string.format], which uses [http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/cstdio/printf/ printf formatting] with a few exceptions. See documentation for full details. Only one parameter is added, so your format string should only include one replacement string

==Examples==
<pre>
* One decimal place: {{Sprintfexpr|%.1f|1.2*5.6*82.23654}}
* One decimal place (when an int): {{Sprintfexpr|%.1f|5*5}}
* Padding left as int: {{Sprintfexpr|%05d|2*2}}
</pre>

* One decimal place: {{Sprintfexpr|%.1f|1.2*5.6*82.23654}}
* One decimal place (when an int): {{Sprintfexpr|%.1f|5*5}}
* Padding left as int: {{Sprintfexpr|%05d|2*2}}
