Added support for formatting

A custom formatting script is now supported. It can be added at creation time of the forecast

It uses ruby's variable substitution. The following variables are supported:

  • #format_city - City name
  • #format_iconid - Icon ID in OpenWeatherMap API number. Should be used if you want to use a custom font that supports OWM.
  • #format_icon - the html code to inject the weather icon ( ) - uses OWF or WI font based on the setting
  • #format_high - High temperature (including units) for the day
  • #format_low - Low temperature (including units) for the day
  • #format_current - Current temperature (including units). Updated every 5 minutes by default.

It can be used for example as follows:

                <h1>#{format_city}</h1>
                <div style='float: left; width: 50%'>
                   #{format_icon}
                </div>
                <div style='float: left; width: 50%'>
                  <h1> &uarr; #{format_high} | &darr; #{format_low} </h1>
                </div>

Variables can be omitted, used twice, etc..

If no format is specified the following is used:

                <h1> Today in #{format_city} </h1>
                <div style='float: left; width: 50%'>
                   #{format_icon}
                </div>
                <div style='float: left; width: 50%'>
                  <p> High </p>
                  <h1> #{format_high} </h1>
                  <p> Low </p>
                  <h1> #{format_low}</h1>
                </div>

Current Temperature only available if forecast type selected to be "Realtime". Conversely, high/low temperatures for the day are available if forecast is "Max and Min for the day"
