How to configure number printing in charts with DOCX template ?

Currently, if you wish to format the digits of a chart in "Number" format, the chart language is not affected by the Carbone configuration. Here's what you get with lang = fr :

Chart is always rendered with English (US) format 😭

However, you can force numbers to be formatted by configuring the format in your docx template.

To do this :
- on your chart, right-click to select axes or labels, then enter in the corresponding format settings menu
- expand the "Number" section
- Insert the following string in "Format Code" (fr_FR for this example), as below :

[$-fr-FR,100]# ###,00

- don't forget to click on "Add"

The system language may override the formatting code you added. You might need to set your computer's language to match the expected formatting.

Et voilà, your numbers are correctly displayed 🎉
