Where is a clear list of `control strings`? When working with Lisp+Slime, the Hyperspec doc about `format` function is hard to find

Question
(format t "~C ~D ???" var1)
Who can give a tip, How/Where in the all power Hyperspec can we find a list of the control string?
Things like this, when it's going to find some hints about the Lisp
control string of the format
, the Hyperspec always HYPER me.
I tried: C-c C-d h format
, C-c C-d h formatter
, C-c C-d h tilds
... They all lost me.
Solution
Try C-cC-d~(i.e., common-lisp-hyperspec-format
). Tab will show a summary. In case you forgot, it's always reachable from C-hm(describe-mode
).
OTHER TIPS
The Common Lisp Quick Reference has a nice overview of Common Lisp. Including the format functionality.
