Also supports the first character being a \$, it then will format the result with a a call to \&dollarformat() described below. If the first character is a , it will format it with commas grouping the thousands. In S mode it will fromat the number to the specified number of significant figures and display it in F mode. In E mode it will attempt to generate a pretty x10\^{}3 rather than a E3 following the number, the 'optional target' argument is optional but can be used to force \&prettyprint to generate either 'tex' output, or 'web' output, most people do not need to specify this argument and can leave it blank. &  \\
