@item %n
This stands for a newline.
+@item %N
+This stands for the nanoseconds (000000000-999999999). To ask for
+fewer digits, use @samp{%3N} for milliseconds, @samp{%6N} for
+microseconds, etc. Any excess digits are discarded, without rounding.
+Currently Emacs time stamps are at best microsecond resolution so the
+last three digits generated by plain @samp{%N} are always zero.
@item %p
This stands for @samp{AM} or @samp{PM}, as appropriate.
@item %r
