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
