Jacopo,
I believe FreeMarker has a default number formatter that is used when
you do something like ${doubleVariable}.
In general with FreeMarker, and we have of course had to do with
various other things, if you want it formatted in a certain way you
have to explicitly format it in that way.
If the concern here is about the default formatter, chances are we
could change that in the FreeMarkerWorker.java file to have a better
default for FTL files used in OFBiz.

Let's say that, in the context of an ftl template, I have a double
variable:
context.put("doubleVariable", new Double(0.123456));
The following code inside an ftl template:
Double: ${doubleVariable}
Double.toString(): ${doubleVariable.toString()}
is rendered in this way:
Double: 0.123 (WRONG!!!)
Double.toString(): 0.123456 (CORRECT)
Why is this happening?
I think that this is a pretty serious thing since all the numeric
fields (e.g. in widgets) are affected by this and the numbers
displayed on screen can be incorrect.
Thanks!
