format -package:formatting

This returns whether the data was returned in a binary or textual format. Analogous to libpq's PQfformat.

Creates a string from a matrix given a separator and a function to show each entry. Using this function the user can easily define any desired display function:

import Text.Printf(printf)

disp = putStr . format "  " (printf "%.2f")

Implementation of the dhall format subcommand

Convert a Format string to a print function that takes zero or more typed arguments and returns a Text string

An old-style formatting function taken from text-format (see Data.Text.Format). Unlike format from Data.Text.Format, it can produce String and strict Text as well (and print to console too). Also it's polyvariadic:

>>> format "{} + {} = {}" 2 2 4
2 + 2 = 4

You can use arbitrary formatters:

>>> format "0x{} + 0x{} = 0x{}" (hexF 130) (hexF 270) (hexF (130+270))
0x82 + 0x10e = 0x190

Format document with <?xml.. header - lazy variant that returns lazy ByteString.

Combinator for the format attribute.

Tries to detect the image format by attempting formattedAs with each possible Format. If you're trying to test for a specific format, use a specific formattedAs directly instead.

Header and sample format

Formats given contents.

Format a variable number of arguments with Python-style format string

>>> format "{:s}, {:d}, {:.4f}" "hello" 123 pi
"hello, 123, 3.1416"

>>> format "{1:s}, {0:d}, {2:.4f}" 123 "hello" pi
"hello, 123, 3.1416"

>>> format "{:s} {:d} {pi:.4f}" "hello" 123 ("pi" := pi)
"hello, 123, 3.1416"
