+Form of the ANSI-C style \lstinline!format! string:
+The string specifies one conversion specifier (excluding the leading \%), shall not contain length modifiers, and shall not use `\lstinline!*!' for width and/or precision.
 For all numeric values the format specifiers `\lstinline!f!', `\lstinline!e!', `\lstinline!E!', `\lstinline!g!', `\lstinline!G!' are allowed.
 For integral values it is also allowed to use the `\lstinline!d!', `\lstinline!i!', `\lstinline!o!', `\lstinline!x!', `\lstinline!X!', `\lstinline!u!', and `\lstinline!c!' format specifiers (for non-integral values a tool may round, truncate or use a different format if the integer conversion characters are used).
