package Ada.Strings.Text_Buffers.Formatting is
-- Template-based output, based loosely on C's printf family. Unlike
-- printf, it is type safe. We don't support myriad formatting options; the
-- caller is expected to call 'Image, or other functions that might have
-- various formatting capabilities.
type Template is new Utils.UTF_8;
procedure Put
(S : in out Root_Buffer_Type'Class; T : Template;
X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X6, X7, X8, X9 : Utils.UTF_8_Lines := "");
-- Prints the template as is, except for the following escape sequences:
-- "\n" is end of line.
-- "\i" indents by the default amount, and "\o" outdents.
-- "\I" indents by one space, and "\O" outdents.
-- "\1" is replaced with X1, and similarly for 2, 3, ....
-- "\\" is "\".
-- Note that the template is not type String, to avoid this sort of thing:
