Well, we could,instead, use literal blocks, e. g. something like:

::

-If variable is of Type, use printk format specifier:
----------------------------------------------------------
- int %d or %x
- unsigned int %u or %x
- long %ld or %lx
- unsigned long %lu or %lx
- long long %lld or %llx
- unsigned long long %llu or %llx
- size_t %zu or %zx
- ssize_t %zd or %zx
- s32 %d or %x
- u32 %u or %x
- s64 %lld or %llx
- u64 %llu or %llx



Cheers,
Mauro
