Does the documentation mention number parsing?

I think Zeptoforth supports direct hex numbers $4A3 , decimals #123 , binary %10011 , doubles 12.3 and fixed point 12,4 ... but I don't see these documented anywhere?
I looked at basic Git front page, wiki or supplied release package docs.
Of course, people could just look at the source code :-)
I have added more content on numbers to the wiki. In the process of this I have discovered two things - first, I don't have parsing routines exposed to the user to parse double-cell and fixed-point numbers, and there's a major bug in parsing numbers with bases smaller than 2 or larger than 16.
I have now implemented parse-double, parse-double-unsigned, and parse-fixed to enable parsing double-cell integers and fixed-point numbers from strings, and have fixed the bug in the handling of unsupported bases.
Note that this is not in a build yet but is in the master and devel branches.
Fantastic!
