<h1>Boost Format library</h1>
<p>
The format library provides a class for formatting arguments according to a format-string,
as does printf, but with two major differences :
<br>
<ul>
<li>format sends the arguments to an internal stream, and so is entirely type-safe and
naturally supports all user-defined types.</li>
<li>The ellipsis (...) can not be used correctly in the strongly typed context of format,
and thus the function call with arbitrary arguments is replaced by successive calls to an
<i>argument feeding</i> <b>operator%</b>
</li>
</ul>
</p>
