Formatting codes are enclosed within asterisk (*) delimiters. If an expression doesn't contain formatting
codes, it cannot contain asterisks. Formatting codes consist of a pair of flags enclosing a numeric value or
string, except for boolean flags, which are a single flag. For example, the following expression contains
formatting codes that select a display format and a boolean flag to set a manual line break point:
<MathFullForm `id[(*i2i*)char[x]]'>
String values in format codes must be enclosed in straight, double quotation marks ("). To include
characters in the extended ASCII range (above 0x127), use a backslash sequence (see "Character set in
strings" on page 13).
You can use the following formatting codes, which can appear in any order. The default for all numeric
values is 0.
