Subject: Need `format' with position numbers
Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2022 01:57:39 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <courier.000000006323AE0B.00000EE7@stw1.rcdrun.com> (raw)
In Lisp and the command `format' does not have positioning number,
order of arguments is static:
(format "%s %s %s" name link description)
and I would like to have positioning such as in PostgreSQL:
"WHERE link = $2 AND name = $1" name link
This is because arbitrary formats for command `format' may come in the
system I am building, it is not predictable how users would like to
place name, link, description in various markup languages.
Maybe there exists different `format' command that uses position
numbers in some package?
