Function: to_string DOC_MSE_VERSION: since 0.3.7 --Usage-- > to_string(any value) Convert any value to a [[type:string]] representation. The @to_string@ function should not be confused with @to_text@. The former converts things like number to string, while the latter removes tags from a [[type:tagged string]]. --Parameters-- ! Parameter Type Description | @input@ ''any type'' Value to convert to a string | @format@ ''optional'' Formatting to apply.
This takes the same form as [[http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/clibrary/cstdio/printf.html|printf format specifiers]]. --Examples-- > to_string(to_color("blue")) == "rgb(0,0,255)" > to_string(10 + 20) == "30" > to_string(10 + 20, format: ".3f") == "30.000" > to_string(10 + 20, format: "x") == "1e" # hexadecimal notation > to_string("xy", format: "3s") == " xy"
