Copy/paste format
To cater for copy/paste of numbers in different formats, the following notation is used (see
configuration for how to select prefix for hex/oct/bin
numbers, and also to select '.' or ',' as the decimal character):
- Decimal numbers: no special formatting, but thousand separators
are removed, e.g. “3141.592654”;
- Complex numbers: two valid numbers, complex part signed and followed by “i”, e,g, “3.14+3.14i”
- Fractions: as displayed, e.g. “1/2” or “1 1/2”
- DMS: as displayed, e.g. “14º03’12.25””
- Hexadecimal numbers: prefixed with “0x” or “&H”, e.g., “0xFF” or “&HFF”
- Octal numbers: prefixed with “0” or “&O”, e.g. “0123” or “&O123”
- Binary numbers: prefixed with “0b” or “&B”, e.g., “0b101010” or “&B101010”
