<h1>Formatting with Norwegian currency format</h1>

#{
    /* Set culture */
    docly.setCulture(1044);
    
    /* Can be used when formatting numbers and dates: */
    var number = 10000.50;
    write(docly.format(number, "C"));
}#

The template above produces this output:

<h1>Formatting with Norwegian currency format</h1>
