The Elisp manual doc for `format' (node Formatting Strings) looks OK.
But the doc string has this bug:

  where flags is [+ #-0]+, width is [0-9]+, and precision is .[0-9]+

                                  must be a literal `.' here ^

The precision part should be this (or equivalent): "[.][0-9]+", not
".[0-9]+".
