Freemarker, is it possible to set computer numbering format by default?

Question

About FreeMarker, is it possible to instruct it to treat all numbers as "computer" ones by default?

I tried to apply

cfg.setSetting(Configurable.NUMBER_FORMAT_KEY, "computer");

or

cfg.setNumberFormat("computer");

to configuration object, but the outcome is not the desired. Believing this is the documentation's way to do it, is there anything wrong?

Answer 1

The number format you specify must be something that java.text.DecimalFormat supports. The closest thing you can do right now is switching the locale to en_US (and better ensure that it doesn't use groping; see http://freemarker.org/docs/app_faq.html#faq_number_grouping). Or, of course, you can write ?c-s all over, but I suppose that's what you wanted to avoid.

Answer 2

Try with:

cfg.setNumberFormat("#");

It worked for me
