<para>
Returns a string containing <parameter>number</parameter>
represented in base <parameter>tobase</parameter>. The base in
which <parameter>number</parameter> is given is specified in
<parameter>frombase</parameter>. Both
<parameter>frombase</parameter> and <parameter>tobase</parameter>
have to be between 2 and 36, inclusive. Digits in numbers with a
base higher than 10 will be represented with the letters a-z,
with a meaning 10, b meaning 11 and z meaning 35.

<function>base_convert</function> may lose precision on large numbers
due to properties related to the internal "double" or "float" type used.
Please see the <link linkend="language.types.float">Floating point numbers</link>
section in the manual for more specific information and limitations.
