They definitely should work. Especially ?c. If they don't, you mix up
something somewhere... looking at the wrong template or something. Or,
what you are outputting is maybe not a number, but already a string?
Try what ${yourVariable?is_number?string} and
${yourVariable?is_string?string} says.

You shouldn't need setGroupingUsed... the example in the FAQ should
work. But see earlier.
