% \section{Format specifications}
%
% \label{sec:l3str-format:spec}
%
% \LaTeX3 has the notion of a string \meta{format}.
% The syntax follows that of Python's \texttt{format} built-in function.
% A \meta{format specification} is a string of the form
% \begin{equation*}
%   \meta{format specification} = [[\meta{fill}]\meta{alignment}]
%     [\meta{sign}] [\meta{width}] [.\meta{precision}] [\meta{style}]
% \end{equation*}
% where each $[\ldots]$ denotes an independent optional part.
% \begin{itemize}
%   \item \meta{fill} can be any character: it is assumed to be present
%     whenever the second character of the \meta{format specification}
%     is a valid \meta{alignment} character.
%   \item \meta{alignment} can be |<|~(left alignment), |>|~(right
%     alignment), |^|~(centering), or |=|~(for numeric types only).
%   \item \meta{sign} is allowed for numeric types; it can be |+|~(show
%     a sign for positive and negative numbers), |-|~(only put a sign
%     for negative numbers), or a space~(show a space or a~|-|).
%   \item \meta{width} is the minimum number of characters of the
%     result: if the result is naturally shorter than this \meta{width},
%     then it is padded with copies of the character \meta{fill}, with a
%     position depending on the choice of \meta{alignment}.  If the
%     result is naturally longer, it is not truncated.
%   \item \meta{precision}, whose presence is indicated by a period,
%     can have different meanings depending on the type.
%   \item \meta{style} is one character, which controls how the given
%     data should be formatted.  The list of allowed \meta{styles}
%     depends on the type.
% \end{itemize}
% The choice of \meta{alignment} |=| is only valid for numeric types: in
% this case the padding is inserted between the sign and the rest of the
% number.
%
% Details of the individual formatting functions are given in the relevant
% modules, e.g.~\pkg{l3fp} for \cs{fp_format:nn}.

% \subsection{Alignment}
%
% The $4$ functions in this section receive an \meta{body}, a
% \meta{sign}, a \meta{width} and a \meta{fill} character (exactly one
% character).  For non-numeric types, the \meta{sign} is empty and the
% \meta{body} is the (other) string we want to format.  For numeric
% types, we wish to format \meta{sign} \meta{body} (both are other
% strings).  The alignment types |<|, |>| and |^| keep \meta{sign} and
% \meta{body} together.  The |=| alignment type, however, inserts the
% padding between the \meta{sign} and the \meta{body}, hence the need to
% keep those separate.
