- post-finalization note: On 2020-03-18, Per Bothner began an email discussion of the proper semantics of SRFI 48's freshline (`~&`) directive, suggesting a change when it is not known whether the previous character was a newline. This is not an error in the SRFI, but deviation from it that Per recommends. SRFI 48 author Ken Dickey responded with a patch to the sample implementation that could be used to implement Per's change, if desired.

## Abstract

This document specifies Format Strings, a method of interpreting a Scheme string which contains a number of format directives that are replaced with other string data according to the semantics of each directive. This SRFI extends SRFI-28 in being more generally useful but is less general than advanced format strings in that it does not allow, aside from ~F, for controlled positioning of text within fields.

## Issues

Some may disagree with specific escape options or return values. For those who desire complex options as implemented by SLIB or Common Lisp's FORMAT, an upwards compatible "Advanced Format" SRFI should be proposed.

In particular, the reference implementation given here does not accept numeric arguments (aside from ~F). Hence it does not support SRFI-29.

It is highly desireable that baseline library code be small, attempt to eliminiate heap allocation and bound stack usage. This is especially important in embedded systems. This can be accomplished by writing directly to a port, rather than a string, by not supporting ~W or ~F, and by replacing (display (number->string n r) p) with a carefully written (display:number->string n r p) which does not build intermediate strings.

As this is intermediate format, it was felt that ~F and ~W are too highly useful to elide. The ~H option is helpful to users, allows for programattic query, and makes clear which format directives are supported.

## Rationale

Inheriting from MacLisp, nearly all Lisp and Scheme implementations support some form of FORMAT function with support for various numbers of format directives. By agreeing to the options here, we raise the bar for portable code.

The reference implementation is R5RS compliant and easy to port. In not requiring advanced features (aside from ~W and ~F) small implementations are possible. E.g. the reference code does not use side effects (assignment) and is less than a third the source size of the latest SLIB implementation of FORMAT (less than a tenth if ~F support is elided).

The optional port argument allows for compatibility with older code written for, e.g. scheme48, MIT Scheme, T, et cetera, which required a port argument. It is also useful in cases where a synoptic implementation of Scheme and CommonLisp is maintained.

## Specification

`format` `[port] format-string [obj ...]`

> Accepts a format template (a Scheme String), and processes it, replacing any format directives in order with one or more characters, the characters themselves dependent on the semantics of the format directive encountered. Each directive may consume one obj. It is an error if fewer or more obj values are provided than format directives that require them.

> When a port is specified it must be either an output port or a boolean. If an output-port is specified, the formatted output is output into that port. If the port argument is #t, output is to the current-output-port. If the port is #f or no port is specified, the output is returned as a string. If the port is specified and is #t or an output-port, the result of the format function is unspecified.

> It is unspecified which encoding is used (e.g. ASCII, EBCDIC, UNICODE). A given implementation must specify which encoding is used. The implementation may or may not allow the encoding to be selected or changed.

> It is an error if an format directive consumes an obj argument and that argument does not confirm to a required type as noted in the table below.

> It is permissible, but highly discouraged, to implement pretty-print as (define pretty-print write).

> An format directive is a two character sequence in the string where the first character is a tilde '~'. Directive characters are case-independent, i.e. upper and lower case characters are interpreted the same. Each directive code's meaning is described in the following table:

> DIRECTIVE | MNEMONIC | ACTION | CONSUMES? |
> ~a | Any | (display obj) for humans | yes
> ~s | Slashified | (write obj) for parsers | yes
> ~w | WriteCircular | (write-with-shared-structure obj) like ~s, but handles recursive structures | yes
> ~d | Decimal | the obj is a number which is output in decimal radix | yes
> ~x | heXadecimal | the obj is a number which is output in hexdecimal radix | yes
> ~o | Octal | the obj is a number which is output in octal radix | yes
> ~b | Binary | the obj is a number which is output in binary radix | yes
> ~c | Character | the single charater obj is output by write-char | yes
> ~y | Yuppify | the list obj is pretty-printed to the output | yes
> ~? | Indirection | the obj is another format-string and the following obj is a list of arguments; format is called recursively | yes
> ~K | Indirection | the same as ~? for backward compatability with some existing implementations | yes
> ~[w[,d]]F | Fixed | ~w,dF outputs a number with width w and d digits after the decimal; ~wF outputs a string or number with width w. | yes
> ~~ | Tilde | output a tilde | no
> ~t | Tab | output a tab character | no
> ~% | Newline | output a newline character | no
> ~& | Freshline | output a newline character if it is known that the previous output was not a newline | no
> ~_ | Space | a single space character is output | no
> ~h | Help | outputs one line of call synopsis, one line of comment, and one line of synopsis for each format directive, starting with the directive (e.g. "~t") | no

> The ~F, fixed format, directive requires some elucidation.

> ~wF is useful for strings or numbers. Where the string (or number->string of the number) has fewer characters than the integer width w, the string is padded on the left with space characters.

> ~w,dF is typically used only on numbers. For strings, the d specifier is ignored. For numbers, the integer d specifies the number of decimal digits after the decimal place. Both w and d must be zero or positive.

> If d is specified, the number is processed as if added to 0.0, i.e. it is converted to an inexact value.

>     (format "~8,2F" 1/3) => "    0.33"

> If no d is specified, the number is not coerced to inexact.

>     (format "~6F" 32) => "    32"

> Digits are padded to the right with zeros

>     (format "~8,2F" 32) => "   32.00"

> If the number it too large to fit in the width specified, a string longer than the width is returned

>     (format "~1,2F" 4321) => "4321.00"

> If the number is complex, d is applied to both real and imaginal parts

>     (format "~1,2F" (sqrt -3.9)) => "0.00+1.97i"

> For very large or very small numbers, the point where exponential notation is used is implementation defined.

>     (format "~8F" 32e5) => "   3.2e6" or "3200000.0"
