  13     <p>The default formatting mimicks printf with %.<i>p</i>g where <i>p</i> is
  14        the precision to use.  It turns out that JavaScript's toPrecision()
  15        method is almost but not exactly equal to %g; they differ for values
  16        with small absolute values (10^-1 to 10^-5 or so), with toPrecision()
  17        yielding strings that are longer than they should be (i.e. using fixed
  18        point where %g would use exponential).</p>

  20     <p>This test is intended to check that our formatting works properly for a
  21        variety of precisions.</p>

  23     <p>Precision to use (1 to 21):
