and an UserTag like

UserTag compute_vat Routine <<EOF

        foreach my $item (@$cart){
                my $item_dummy = '';
		my $item_price = '';
		$outprice = tag_data('products','price', $item->{code});
		$vatkz = tag_data('products','dummy', $item->{code});
		$outmenge =  $item->{quantity};
		if($vatkz =~ /MWSTKZ2/){
		$a = ($outprice * $outmenge)/116*16;
		$vat = $vat + $a;
		} else {

        return $vat;
}

(Works with MV 3.14 and MV4.04a)

In most common case, you have 7%! If there are some items with 16%, you
have an entry "MWSTKZ2" in the field "dummy". This works with the whole
p rice(netto + VAT = "Bruttopreis").

If the viewed page is "flypage.html", you can use

[item-field description2]

or what is the problem?
