| ``'%'`` | Percentage. Multiplies the number by 100 and displays |
| | in fixed (``'f'``) format, followed by a percent sign. |
+---------+----------------------------------------------------------+
- | None | Similar to ``'g'``, except with at least one digit past |
- | | the decimal point and a default precision of 12. This is |

+ | None | Similar to ``'g'``, except that fixed-point notation, |
