+With a decimal (base 10) input:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ float 11 }} → 11 (float64)
+{{ float "11" }} → 11 (float64)
+
+{{ float 11.1 }} → 11.1 (float64)
+{{ float "11.1" }} → 11.1 (float64)
+
+{{ float 11.9 }} → 11.9 (float64)
+{{ float "11.9" }} → 11.9 (float64)
+```
+
+With a binary (base 2) input:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ float 0b11 }} → 3 (float64)
+```
+
+With an octal (base 8) input (use either notation):
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ float 011 }} → 9 (float64)
+{{ float "011" }} → 11 (float64)
+
+{{ float 0o11 }} → 9 (float64)
+```
+
+With a hexadecimal (base 16) input:
+
+```go-html-template
+{{ float 0x11 }} → 17 (float64)
+```
