In PHP development, how can the use of template syntax like Smarty in frameworks such as OXID impact the formatting of numbers with decimal and thousand separators?

When using template syntax like Smarty in frameworks such as OXID, the default behavior may not always format numbers with the desired decimal and thousand separators. To solve this issue, you can use PHP's number_format function to format the numbers accordingly before passing them to the template for display. 

<?php
// Assuming $number is the variable containing the number to be formatted
$formattedNumber = number_format($number, 2, '.', ',');

// Assign the formatted number to a Smarty variable for display in the template
$smarty->assign('formattedNumber', $formattedNumber);
?>
