Question: Number formatting seems to be ignored for output in Maple 2026

Hi everyone,

I am experiencing what appears to be a problem with Number Formatting in Maple 2026.

I have a worksheet where I calculate a numerical value using evalf, for example:

evalf(1 - (3.7*90)/(10.4*3600))

which returns

0.4663461539

When I select the output and use the Context Panel → Number Format, for example:

• Percent
• 2 decimal places

the preview in the math container changes accordingly (e.g. showing something like 0.45), but the actual numerical output below still displays as

0.4663461539

Changing the number format, decimal places, scientific notation, etc. seems to have no effect on the displayed output.

Even if not using  evalf.

Is this the expected behavior in Maple 2026?

• Does Number Formatting only apply to certain types of expressions or math containers?
• Is there a known issue with formatting numerical output generated by evalf?
• Am I missing a setting that enables formatting of worksheet output?

I have attached a screenshot illustrating the problem.

Any help or clarification would be appreciated.

Thanks!
