Number Inline Expressions

It is possible to convert numbers (indicated in milliseconds) with inline expressions into date, time, or duration values. The expressions are similar to the Live Inline Expressions and look like this: {num:{NUMBER}:{TYPE}:{FORMAT}}. It is also possible to add colored values with the expression syntax {txt:{COLOR}:num:{NUMBER}:{TYPE}:{FORMAT}}. Please see Colors for possible color values. This feature is available since version 0.1.91. Since version 0.1.160, a number can also be basically formatted by using the syntax {num:{NUMBER}:format} (e.g. {num:1234.1234:format}) or {num:{NUMBER}:format:{DECIMAL_DIGITS}{DECIMAL_TRIMMING}} (e.g. {num:1234.1234:format:24}) or {num:{NUMBER}:format:{THOUSANDS_SEPARATOR}{DECIMAL_SEPARATOR}{DECIMAL_DIGITS}{DECIMAL_TRIMMING}} (e.g. {num:1234.1234:format:,.24}). In the first two cases, the number format is taken from the dictionary.

Please see following example.
