-The CTRL-A and CTRL-X commands work for (signed) decimal numbers, unsigned
-octal and hexadecimal numbers and alphabetic characters.  This depends on the
-'nrformats' option.
+The CTRL-A and CTRL-X commands can work for:
+- signed and unsigned decimal numbers
+- unsigned binary, octal and hexadecimal numbers
+- alphabetic characters
+
+This depends on the 'nrformats' option:
+- When 'nrformats' includes "bin", Vim assumes numbers starting with '0b' or
+  '0B' are binary.
 - When 'nrformats' includes "octal", Vim considers numbers starting with a '0'
   to be octal, unless the number includes a '8' or '9'.  Other numbers are
   decimal and may have a preceding minus sign.
@@ -447,6 +452,10 @@ octal number.
 Note that when 'nrformats' includes "octal", decimal numbers with leading
 zeros cause mistakes, because they can be confused with octal numbers.
 
+Note similarly, when 'nrformats' includes "bin", binary numbers with a leading
+'0x' or '0X' can be interpreted as hexadecimal rather than binary since '0b'
+are valid hexadecimal digits.

 The CTRL-A command is very useful in a macro.  Example: Use the following
 steps to make a numbered list.
