With the `formatNumber` you can safely display a number for all languages.

The input value is `1234.56`.

```js script
import { html, css } from '@mdjs/mdjs-preview';
import { formatNumber, formatNumberToParts } from '@lion/ui/localize.js';
import allLocales from './assets/all-locales.js';

const formatNumberDemoStyle = css`
  .demo-table {
    border-collapse: collapse;
    text-align: right;
  }
  .demo-table thead > tr {
    border-bottom: 1px solid grey;
  }
  .demo-table thead > tr > :first-child,
  .demo-table tbody > tr > :first-child,
  .demo-table tfoot > tr > :first-child {
    text-align: left;
  }
  .demo-table th,
  .demo-table td {
    padding: 8px;
  }
`;
const value = 1234.56;
```

```js preview-story
export const formatting = () => html`
  <style>
    ${formatNumberDemoStyle}
  </style>
  <table class="demo-table">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>Options</th>
        <th>Output</th>
