title: Convert numerical value to string in Freemarker
body: <p>I am trying to write a freemarker template in which one field value is passed as numeric but I want to print it as a string.
  Currently I am fetching values from a JSON.</p>
  
  <p>Freemarker is formatting that number which is not required in my case.
  E.g. if I am passing a number as shipmentId: 23452742 
  freemarker is converting it into 23,452,742 </p>
  
  <p>${shipment.shipmentId}</p>
  
  <p>How to convert a numeric value to string or stop freemarker formatting for one particular field?
  Any help would be appreciated.</p>
