### Remarks

The supported numeric formats string (using `0` as an example) are:

* `"0.#"`: Displays the numeric value with up to one decimal place, omitting trailing zeros. For example, `3.5` becomes `3.5` and `3.0` becomes `3`.

-`"0.00"`: Ensures the numeric value is displayed with exactly two decimal places. For example, `3.5` is displayed as `3.50` and `3` as `3.00`.

-`"0"`: Displays only the integer part of a numeric value, rounding if necessary. For example, `3.5` becomes `4` and `3.0` becomes `3`.
