That might probably be chapter 14.2.6 and 14.2.7:
https://octave.org/doc/v6.3.0/Output-Conversion-Syntax.html
https://octave.org/doc/v6.3.0/Table-of-Output-Conversions.html
In the PDF manual those chapters are pretty close to each other. On the web
site and in the Qt help browser it needs a few clicks to get from one to the
other though...
Like you already wrote: Suggestions to improving the manual are always very
welcome.
Please, post patches to the bug tracker:
