Is there any way to use simple maths in the message templates? e.g. {{ item.ItemPriceInEuroTotal * 0.95|floatformat:2 }} throws a formatting error because of the “* 0.95”. Is there any way I can do this in the template? thanks
Message template, any way to use simple arithmetic on values?

Hello
Great question!
Performing math in email templates is supported through the use of variable filters. If you wish to multiple a variable, you can use the |multiply
tag.
From your example of multiplying the {{ item.ItemPriceInEuroTotal }}
variable by 0.95, and applying a float format filter of 2, you can use the following syntax: {{ item.ItemPriceInEuroTotal|multiply:0.95|floatformat:2 }}
You can learn more about using variables, variable tags, and a list of commonly used tags from the following articles:
Hope this helps!
