        Integer with the base <em><c>base</c></em>, that must be an
-       integer in the range 2..36.</item>
+       integer in the range 2..36. This notation can also be found in the Ada
+       programming language. Erlang does <em>not</em> support prefixes such as
+       <c>0x</c> for hexadecimal or <c>077</c> for octal.</item>
     </list>
     <p>Leading zeroes are ignored. Single underscore <c>_</c> can be inserted
     between digits as a visual separator.</p>
+    <p>Also note that floating point numbers must start with a digit, and must
+    contain a <c>.</c>.
+    In other words, literals such as <c>.01</c> and <c>1e6</c> are not allowed,
+    and must be written <c>0.01</c> and <c>1.0e6</c> respectively.</p>
