It's possible to write an integer constant in hexadecimal, but you need to
prefix it with u or s. I couldn't find this mentioned anywhere in the LangRef,
so this adds a small note about it.

     The two strings '``true``' and '``false``' are both valid constants

 **Integer constants**
-    Standard integers (such as '4') are constants of the

+    Standard integers (such as '4') are constants of the :ref:`integer
+    <t_integer>` type. They can be either decimal or
+    hexadecimal. Decimal integers can be prefixed with - to represent
+    negative integers, whilst hexadecimal integers must be prefixed
+    with either u or s to indicate whether they are unsigned or signed
+    respectively, e.g u0x1234.
 **Floating-point constants**
     Floating-point constants use standard decimal notation (e.g.
     123.421), exponential notation (e.g. 1.23421e+2), or a more precise
