Subject: bug#24314: Mistake in GNU Emacs Lisp Reference Manual
Date: Fri, 26 Aug 2016 14:07:19 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160826140719.1c963f67@debian> (raw)
To Whom It May Concern,
I believe I have found a mistake in the GNU Emacs Lisp Reference
Manual.
In section 4.7, Formatting Strings
(https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Formatting-Strings.html#Formatting-Strings)
it says:
"The precision is a decimal-point ‘.’ followed by a digit-string...
Precision has no effect for other specification characters."
However, running
(format "%.10d" 23)
produces
0000000023
which clearly does have an effect (i.e. padding the integer with zeroes
to the left).
Best regards,
Eric Wayman
