 #### Precision Specifiers
 
-| Precision	| Description |

If the value to be written is shorter than this number, the result is padded with leading zeros. The value is not truncated even if the result is longer. A precision of 0 means that no character is written for the value 0.<br>For f and F specifiers: this is the number of digits to be printed after the decimal point. **By default, this is 6, and a maximum is defined when building the library**.<br>For s: this is the maximum number of characters to be printed. By default all characters are printed until the ending null character is encountered.<br>If the period is specified without an explicit value for precision, 0 is assumed. |

 Notes:
 
 * The `L` modifier, for `long double`, is not currently supported.
 * A `"%zd"` or `"%zi"` takes a signed integer of the same size as `size_t`. 
 * The implementation currently assumes each of `intmax_t`, signed `size_t`, and `ptrdiff_t` has the same size as `long int` or as `long long int`. If this is not the case for your platform, please open an issue.
-* The `Ixx` length modifiers are not in the C (nor C++) standard, but are somewhat popular, as it makes it easier to handle integer types of specific size. One must specify the argument size in bits immediately after the `I`. The printing is "integer-promotion-safe", i.e. the fact that an `int8_t` may actually be passed in promoted into a larger `int` will not prevent it from being printed using its origina value.
