If you set the text of a node to a number or date in Freeplane it will likely be recognized specially:

Numbers

If a number is recognized

  • a "Abc" symbol is displayed in the left corner of the status bar,
  • the "#.####" standard format is applied to the number, that is, "0.123456" is displayed as "0.1235" (due to rounding).

You can change the "Format" in the format panel (View -> Properties panel). There are two types of format patterns for numbers. You will probably use the Excel style formats like these (for a given input number 0.12345):

  • .## -> .12
  • 0.000000 -> 0.123450 (zero-padded)

An alternative formatter ("printf") style uses the percent sign specially, see Formatter documentation (again for a given input number 0.12345):

  •  %f -> 0.123450 (standard decimal format)
  •  %.07f -> 0.1234500
  •  %d -> 0 (integer)

Dates

  • If a date is recognized a "Abc" symbol is displayed in the left corner of the status bar.
