Date, numbers, currencies and percentages are formatted differently in different regions of the world. To ensure that this is output correctly in ChiliDocs®, a small addition is required in the control character.
All format specifications are introduced in the same way in ChiliDocs®:
[object.property(format:xyz)]
This results in the following format definitions:
