We utilize Java's MessageFormat API. The syntax documentation is a little bit hard to read, but it can be found here: MessageFormat

According to the doc, these are all the options:

  • {0}
  • {0,number}
  • {0,number,integer}
  • {0,number,currency}
  • {0,number,percent}
  • {0,number,.......} according to the format defined by DecimalFormat
  • {0,date}
  • {0,date,short}
  • {0,date,medium}
  • {0,date,long}
  • {0,date,full}
  • {0,date,.......} according to the format defined by SimpleDateFormat
  • {0,time}
  • {0,time,short}
  • {0,time,medium}
  • {0,time,long}
  • {0,time,full}
  • {0,time,.......} according to the format defined by SimpleDateFormat
  • {0,choice,.......} according to the format defined by ChoiceFormat

 

Unfortunately, ChoiceFormat is the most complex thing we can support today.

I will make sure we are tracking this limitation for a potential future enhancement.
