floating to fixed point Qn.m format in verilog HDL

[vickyuet]

A.o.a:

In verilog HDL programming,I got some floating point arithmetic's to perform.I need to multiply a floating point number but problem is I am confused how to write verilog code that reads number convert it to fixed Q n.m format ....I know all the basics of Q n.m but problem is the algorithm behind this representation.

for example Q2.8 format format 1.5 is represented a 01 1000 0000 but i need a verilog module that accepts floating number and give binary fixed point format as an output....Kindly guide me....Regards
