824 @defvar float-output-format
825 This variable specifies how to print floating point numbers. Its
826 default value is @code{nil}, meaning use the shortest output
827 that represents the number without losing information.
828
829 To control output format more precisely, you can put a string in this
830 variable. The string should hold a @samp{%}-specification to be used
831 in the C function @code{sprintf}. For further restrictions on what
832 you can use, see the variable's documentation string.
