How can we tell Hugo to treat everything as text and not to convert any other format?

Inside md file, each product has some product code like “0276508”. But when it is building the pages in HTML for some pages it is converting as number like “2.9131983e+07” and for some pages it is as string like “0276508”. Used the below code to do this:

        {{ with .Params.productCode }}
        {{.}}
        {{ end }}

How can we tell Hugo to treat everything as text and not to convert any other format?

Never mind, got the solution:
{{ . | safeHTML}}

If your product code looks like a number, it will treated as a number.

YAML front matter value Type
0276058 float64
276058 int
'0276058' string

You need to quote the value in front matter.
