Formatting Strings

Many widgets have options that specify format strings used to format numbers and dates for display. For the most part, the format strings follow the format used in .NET. For example:

'n2' numbers with thousand separators and two decimal places
'c0' numbers with a currency sign, thousand separators and zero decimal places
'p0' percentages with zero decimal places
'd' short dates
'D' long dates

Wijmo uses jQuery/globalize to format numbers and dates, you can find more information about jQuery/globalize here:
