Format specification, returned as a character vector. The specification is a valid format specification for the sprintf function and uses one of these operators:

  • %f

  • %e

  • %E

  • %g

  • %G

If the format specification is an empty character vector, the DOM API formats numbers using the maximum number of digits needed to represent the number accurately. For more information about how the DOM API chooses a format specification, see mlreportgen.dom.Number.
