I don't see any reason not to document tips and tricks with f-strings, and this is a nice and useful example. But it looks like TOOWTDI to me. The syntax is documented (6.1.3.1 in the Library Reference), along with a specific relevant example ("Aligning the text and specifying a width" in 6.1.3.2).

So -1 on putting the recipe in the reference docs. I really don't think this kind of information belongs in a PEP for sure, and probably not even in the Library Reference.

The docs (and I think PEP) have been updated to clearly state that f-strings use the same formatting specifiers as .format(), and have links to those docs.

So I think we're good.

The Tutorial might be a good place for it, though.

yup.
