:^Center aligns the result (within the available space)
:=Places the sign to the left most position
:+Use a plus sign to indicate if the result is positive or negative
:-Use a minus sign for negative values only
: Use a space to insert an extra space before positive numbers (and a minus sign before negative numbers)
:,Use a comma as a thousand separator
:_Use a underscore as a thousand separator
:bBinary format
:cConverts the value into the corresponding unicode character
:dDecimal format
:eScientific format, with a lower case e
:EScientific format, with an upper case E
:fFix point number format
:FFix point number format, in uppercase format (show inf and nan as INF and NAN)
:gGeneral format
:GGeneral format (using a upper case E for scientific notations)
:oOctal format
:xHex format, lower case
:XHex format, upper case
:nNumber format
:%Percentage format
