RE: Formatting negative numbers with format-number

Jaime,

The format-number function takes a pattern for positive numbers and an
optional pattern for negative numbers.  If there is no explicit negative
subpattern a "-" is prepended to the positive form.  For example, the
pattern '#.00;(#.00)' for the number -3.12 would produce "(3.12)".  Note
the second pattern following the semi-colon that specifies the format to
use for negative numbers.

Hi all...

Is it posible using format-number function that the negative numbers to
be displayed enclosed in brackets? for example, -1234 = (1234)
