Format, part of the collection of [Boost C++ Libraries](http://github.com/boostorg), provides a type-safe mechanism for formatting arguments according to a printf-like format-string.  User-defined types are supported by providing a `std::ostream operator <<` implementation for them.

### More information

* [Ask questions](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/ask?tags=c%2B%2B,boost,boost-format): Be sure to read the documentation first as Boost.Format, like any other string formatting library, has its own rules.
* [Report bugs](https://github.com/boostorg/format/issues): Be sure to mention Boost version, platform and compiler you're using. A small compilable code sample to reproduce the problem is always good as well.
* [Submit Pull Requests](https://github.com/boostorg/format/pulls) against the **develop** branch. Note that by submitting patches you agree to license your modifications under the [Boost Software License, Version 1.0](http://www.boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt).  Be sure to include tests proving your changes work properly.
* Discussions about the library are held on the [Boost developers mailing list](http://www.boost.org/community/groups.html#main). Be sure to read the [discussion policy](http://www.boost.org/community/policy.html) before posting and add the `[format]` tag at the beginning of the subject line.
