In the manual the decimal format %.2f, etc. is shown as an example but apparently the f2 format is not mentioned.

Is the %.Xf format preferred or is either one OK?

%.2f is handy for those who are used to printf() syntax (in the C language).
But Calc unlimited precision numbers are converted to double floats before applying %.2f
Whereas f2 operates on Calc numbers without conversion.
