template<typename OutputStream>
OutputStream &ecl::operator<<(OutputStream &ostream, Format<std::string> &formatter)

Insertion operator for formatters. It takes a customised formatter and inserts its current context into the stream. If two formatters are used in succession, it will throw an error (c++ cannot handle two in a single line of streaming). This works on normal c++ streams as well as TextStreams.

Parameters:

• ostream – : the stream to insert the formatted object into.

• formatter – : the format context.

Throws:

StandardException – : throws if the formatter is used multiply in one stream operation [debug mode only].

Returns:

OutputStream : a handle to the resultant stream.
