C-h f format RET


Docu of format arguments starts commonly with argument in column 0.
%x however starts after comma inside a line:

"%s means print a string argument.  Actually, prints any object, with 
‘princ’.
%d means print as signed number in decimal.
%o means print as unsigned number in octal, %x as unsigned number in hex.
"

Suggest to move docu of %x to column zero too.
Maybe consider to sort arguments alphabetically.

In GNU Emacs 27.0.50 (build 1, i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.14.5)
 of 2018-05-29
