If what you have read includes the documentation, you should have no
doubt that it is true.

Quote from the documentation on comparison operators: "optionally signed
decimal integers"

There are many ways, depending on the context of your comparision and the
possible range of values being compared.

For the example you gave, "1.234>2.432", you can use "${if
gt{1.234}{2.432}" to compare them as strings; since both numbers have the
name number of digits before the decimal point, the result will be
numerically correct as well as lexically correct.
