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 classically formatted by using the syntax {num:{NUMBER}:format} (e.g. {num:1234.1234:format}) or {num:{NUMBER}:format:{DECIMAL_DIGITS}} (e.g. {num:1234.1234:format:2}) or {num:{NUMBER}:format:{THOUSANDS_SEPARATOR}{DECIMAL_SEPARATOR}{DECIMAL_DIGITS}} (e.g. {num:1234.1234:format:,.2}). In the first two cases, the format is taken from the dictionary.

Please see following example.
