Hey, all — I get 5.6000000000000005 as a result (instead of 5.6). >
Right now formula uses the JavaScript style for displaying numbers by default, and it's pretty terrible. The inaccuracy is "floating point" error and any reasonable system would round it off somehow. To get rid of it, refer to the "fixed" and "precision" options in FormulaWidget: http://evanbalster.com/tiddlywiki/formulas.html#FormulaWidget I'm probably going to change how numbers are formatted, likely using numeral.js <http://numeraljs.com/> or something like it. This is one of a few compatibility-breaking changes I'm thinking about for the big update.
