Additional Examples

<bx:output>
  #formatBaseN( 15, 2 )# <!--- 1111 (binary) ---> 
  #formatBaseN( 15, 16 )# <!--- f (hexadecimal) ---> 
  #formatBaseN( 15, 8 )# <!--- 17 (octal) ---> 
</bx:output>

<bx:set max = CreateObject( "java", "java.lang.Integer" ).MAX_VALUE >
<bx:output>
  #formatBaseN( max, 16 )# <!--- 7fffffff (correct) ---> 
  #formatBaseN( max + 1, 16 )# <!--- 7fffffff (incorrect) --->
