The output precision may be specified within zcalc by special commands
familiar from many calculators:
startitem()
item(tt(norm))(
The default output format. It corresponds to the printf tt(%g)
specification. Typically this shows six decimal digits.
)
item(tt(sci) var(digits))(
Scientific notation, corresponding to the printf tt(%g) output format with
the precision given by var(digits). This produces either fixed point or
exponential notation depending on the value output.
