A relatively elegant way is to create a file int.tag in your 

/usr/lib/interchange/lib/UI/usertag 

directory, with the following contents:

UserTag int hasEndTag
Usertag int Routine <<EOR
sub {
         my ($arg) = @_;
         return sprintf("%d",$arg);
}
EOR

Then restart the server. This will make interchange only print the integer 
part of your number if it is enclosed in [int] [/int] tags. If you need 
rounding as well, you can add .5 to the value being displayed.

Hope this helps,
