Wow, certainly is simple, elegant and still does exactly what Im after

I have another piece I would like some help with. Not sure if I should be starting a new thread or if Im right to continue here..

I would like my book series index to appear as:

#01 and #01.5 when I have .x in the series

at the moment I am using

{series_index:0>5.2f|#|}

which gives #01.00, so is there a way to have no trailing zeros but have the decimal and number after it appear if they exist?
