[edit] Installation
Download the files from SVN. But them in /extensions/FormatNum and but the following to your LocalSettings.php
require_once( "$IP/extensions/FormatNum/FormatNum.php" );
[edit] Use Example
On Wikipedia formatting of numbers is done with complex templates like this. With the #formatnum parser this would be a lot easier.
