Some of the options I found include
decimal 32 = hexadecimal 20
>>> decimal 32 = 0x20
>>> decimal 32 = 20h
decimal 32 = 20H
decimal 32 = $20
decimal 32 = &20
decimal 32 = X'20'
decimal 32 = 20 (base 16)
decimal 32 = 20 (hex)

Is there a standard technique for representing hex numbers? If not, what
techniques or guidelines have you followed in the past? Also, do you
treat hexadecimal numbers differently in different contexts? That is,
would you use a different technique with in a paragraph of explanation
than you would in a number table or code sample?

The two marked >>> above are the only two forms I've ever seen or used,
no matter what the context.
