<span id="syntax"></span><h1>Format String Syntax<a class="headerlink" href="#format-string-syntax" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h1>
<p>Formatting functions such as <a class="reference internal" href="api.html#format"><span class="std std-ref">fmt::format()</span></a> and
<a class="reference internal" href="api.html#print"><span class="std std-ref">fmt::print()</span></a> use the same format string syntax described in this
section.</p>
<p>Format strings contain “replacement fields” surrounded by curly braces <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">{}</span></code>.
Anything that is not contained in braces is considered literal text, which is
copied unchanged to the output. If you need to include a brace character in the
literal text, it can be escaped by doubling: <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">{{</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">}}</span></code>.</p>
<p>The grammar for a replacement field is as follows:</p>
<pre>
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-replacement_field"><span id="grammar-token-replacement-field"></span>replacement_field</strong> ::= &quot;{&quot; [<a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-arg_id"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">arg_id</span></code></a>] [&quot;:&quot; (<a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-format_spec"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">format_spec</span></code></a> | <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-chrono_format_spec"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">chrono_format_spec</span></code></a>)] &quot;}&quot;
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-arg_id"><span id="grammar-token-arg-id"></span>arg_id </strong> ::= <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-integer"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">integer</span></code></a> | <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-identifier"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">identifier</span></code></a>
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-integer"><span id="grammar-token-integer"></span>integer </strong> ::= <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-digit"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">digit</span></code></a>+
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-digit"><span id="grammar-token-digit"></span>digit </strong> ::= &quot;0&quot;...&quot;9&quot;
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-identifier"><span id="grammar-token-identifier"></span>identifier </strong> ::= <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-id_start"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">id_start</span></code></a> <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-id_continue"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">id_continue</span></code></a>*
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-id_start"><span id="grammar-token-id-start"></span>id_start </strong> ::= &quot;a&quot;...&quot;z&quot; | &quot;A&quot;...&quot;Z&quot; | &quot;_&quot;
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-id_continue"><span id="grammar-token-id-continue"></span>id_continue </strong> ::= <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-id_start"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">id_start</span></code></a> | <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-digit"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">digit</span></code></a>
</pre>
<p>In less formal terms, the replacement field can start with an <em>arg_id</em>
that specifies the argument whose value is to be formatted and inserted into
the output instead of the replacement field.
The <em>arg_id</em> is optionally followed by a <em>format_spec</em>, which is preceded by a
colon <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">':'</span></code>. These specify a non-default format for the replacement value.</p>
<p>See also the <a class="reference internal" href="#formatspec"><span class="std std-ref">Format Specification Mini-Language</span></a> section.</p>
<p>If the numerical arg_ids in a format string are 0, 1, 2, … in sequence,
they can all be omitted (not just some) and the numbers 0, 1, 2, … will be
automatically inserted in that order.</p>
<p>Named arguments can be referred to by their names or indices.</p>
<p>Some simple format string examples:</p>
<div class="highlight-c++ notranslate"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="s">&quot;First, thou shalt count to {0}&quot;</span> <span class="c1">// References the first argument</span>
<span class="s">&quot;Bring me a {}&quot;</span> <span class="c1">// Implicitly references the first argument</span>
<span class="s">&quot;From {} to {}&quot;</span> <span class="c1">// Same as &quot;From {0} to {1}&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The <em>format_spec</em> field contains a specification of how the value should be
presented, including such details as field width, alignment, padding, decimal
precision and so on. Each value type can define its own “formatting
mini-language” or interpretation of the <em>format_spec</em>.</p>
<p>Most built-in types support a common formatting mini-language, which is
described in the next section.</p>
<p>A <em>format_spec</em> field can also include nested replacement fields in certain
positions within it. These nested replacement fields can contain only an
argument id; format specifications are not allowed. This allows the formatting
of a value to be dynamically specified.</p>
<p>See the <a class="reference internal" href="#formatexamples"><span class="std std-ref">Format Examples</span></a> section for some examples.</p>
<section id="format-specification-mini-language">
<span id="formatspec"></span><h2>Format Specification Mini-Language<a class="headerlink" href="#format-specification-mini-language" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>“Format specifications” are used within replacement fields contained within a
format string to define how individual values are presented (see
<a class="reference internal" href="#syntax"><span class="std std-ref">Format String Syntax</span></a>). Each formattable type may define how the format
specification is to be interpreted.</p>
<p>Most built-in types implement the following options for format specifications,
although some of the formatting options are only supported by the numeric types.</p>
<p>The general form of a <em>standard format specifier</em> is:</p>
<pre>
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-format_spec"><span id="grammar-token-format-spec"></span>format_spec</strong> ::= [[<a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-fill"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">fill</span></code></a>]<a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-align"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">align</span></code></a>][<a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-sign"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sign</span></code></a>][&quot;#&quot;][&quot;0&quot;][<a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-width"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">width</span></code></a>][&quot;.&quot; <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-precision"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">precision</span></code></a>][&quot;L&quot;][<a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-type"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">type</span></code></a>]
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-fill"><span id="grammar-token-fill"></span>fill </strong> ::= &lt;a character other than '{' or '}'&gt;
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-align"><span id="grammar-token-align"></span>align </strong> ::= &quot;&lt;&quot; | &quot;&gt;&quot; | &quot;^&quot;
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-sign"><span id="grammar-token-sign"></span>sign </strong> ::= &quot;+&quot; | &quot;-&quot; | &quot; &quot;
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-width"><span id="grammar-token-width"></span>width </strong> ::= <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-integer"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">integer</span></code></a> | &quot;{&quot; [<a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-arg_id"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">arg_id</span></code></a>] &quot;}&quot;
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-precision"><span id="grammar-token-precision"></span>precision </strong> ::= <a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-integer"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">integer</span></code></a> | &quot;{&quot; [<a class="reference internal" href="#grammar-token-sf-arg_id"><code class="xref docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">arg_id</span></code></a>] &quot;}&quot;
<strong id="grammar-token-sf-type"><span id="grammar-token-type"></span>type </strong> ::= &quot;a&quot; | &quot;A&quot; | &quot;b&quot; | &quot;B&quot; | &quot;c&quot; | &quot;d&quot; | &quot;e&quot; | &quot;E&quot; | &quot;f&quot; | &quot;F&quot; | &quot;g&quot; | &quot;G&quot; |
&quot;o&quot; | &quot;p&quot; | &quot;s&quot; | &quot;x&quot; | &quot;X&quot;
</pre>
<p>The <em>fill</em> character can be any Unicode code point other than <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'{'</span></code> or
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'}'</span></code>. The presence of a fill character is signaled by the character following
it, which must be one of the alignment options. If the second character of
<em>format_spec</em> is not a valid alignment option, then it is assumed that both the
fill character and the alignment option are absent.</p>
<p>The meaning of the various alignment options is as follows:</p>
<table class="docutils align-default">
<colgroup>
<col style="width: 13%" />
<col style="width: 87%" />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr class="row-odd"><th class="head"><p>Option</p></th>
<th class="head"><p>Meaning</p></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="row-even"><td><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'&lt;'</span></code></p></td>
<td><p>Forces the field to be left-aligned within the available
space (this is the default for most objects).</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-odd"><td><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'&gt;'</span></code></p></td>
<td><p>Forces the field to be right-aligned within the
available space (this is the default for numbers).</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-even"><td><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'^'</span></code></p></td>
<td><p>Forces the field to be centered within the available
space.</p></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>Note that unless a minimum field width is defined, the field width will always
be the same size as the data to fill it, so that the alignment option has no
meaning in this case.</p>
<p>The <em>sign</em> option is only valid for number types, and can be one of the
following:</p>
<table class="docutils align-default">
<colgroup>
<col style="width: 13%" />
<col style="width: 87%" />
</colgroup>
<thead>
<tr class="row-odd"><th class="head"><p>Option</p></th>
<th class="head"><p>Meaning</p></th>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr class="row-even"><td><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'+'</span></code></p></td>
<td><p>indicates that a sign should be used for both
positive as well as negative numbers.</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-odd"><td><p><code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'-'</span></code></p></td>
<td><p>indicates that a sign should be used only for negative
numbers (this is the default behavior).</p></td>
</tr>
<tr class="row-even"><td><p>space</p></td>
<td><p>indicates that a leading space should be used on
positive numbers, and a minus sign on negative numbers.</p></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'#'</span></code> option causes the “alternate form” to be used for the
conversion. The alternate form is defined differently for different
types. This option is only valid for integer and floating-point types.
For integers, when binary, octal, or hexadecimal output is used, this
option adds the prefix respective <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&quot;0b&quot;</span></code> (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&quot;0B&quot;</span></code>), <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&quot;0&quot;</span></code>, or
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&quot;0x&quot;</span></code> (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&quot;0X&quot;</span></code>) to the output value. Whether the prefix is
lower-case or upper-case is determined by the case of the type
specifier, for example, the prefix <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&quot;0x&quot;</span></code> is used for the type <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'x'</span></code>
and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&quot;0X&quot;</span></code> is used for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'X'</span></code>. For floating-point numbers the
alternate form causes the result of the conversion to always contain a
decimal-point character, even if no digits follow it. Normally, a
decimal-point character appears in the result of these conversions
only if a digit follows it. In addition, for <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'g'</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'G'</span></code>
conversions, trailing zeros are not removed from the result.</p>
<p><em>width</em> is a decimal integer defining the minimum field width. If not
specified, then the field width will be determined by the content.</p>
<p>Preceding the <em>width</em> field by a zero (<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'0'</span></code>) character enables sign-aware
zero-padding for numeric types. It forces the padding to be placed after the
sign or base (if any) but before the digits. This is used for printing fields in
the form +000000120. This option is only valid for numeric types and it has no
effect on formatting of infinity and NaN.</p>
<p>The <em>precision</em> is a decimal number indicating how many digits should be
displayed after the decimal point for a floating-point value formatted with
<code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'f'</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'F'</span></code>, or before and after the decimal point for a floating-point
value formatted with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'g'</span></code> or <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'G'</span></code>. For non-number types the field
indicates the maximum field size - in other words, how many characters will be
used from the field content. The <em>precision</em> is not allowed for integer,
character, Boolean, and pointer values.</p>
<p>The <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">'L'</span></code> option uses the current locale setting to insert the appropriate
number separator characters. This option is only valid for numeric types.</p>
<p>Finally, the <em>type</em> determines how the data should be presented.</p>

<section id="format-examples">
<span id="formatexamples"></span><h2>Format Examples<a class="headerlink" href="#format-examples" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h2>
<p>This section contains examples of the format syntax and comparison with
the printf formatting.</p>
<p>In most of the cases the syntax is similar to the printf formatting, with the
addition of the <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">{}</span></code> and with <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">:</span></code> used instead of <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">%</span></code>.
For example, <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&quot;%03.2f&quot;</span></code> can be translated to <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">&quot;{:03.2f}&quot;</span></code>.</p>
<p>The new format syntax also supports new and different options, shown in the
following examples.</p>
