Here's the abstract:
A library of procedures for formatting Scheme objects to text in
various ways, and for easily concatenating, composing and
extending these formatters efficiently without resorting to
capturing and manipulating intermediate strings.
This SRFI is an updated version of SRFI 159, primarily with the
difference that state variables are hygienic.
Summary of differences from SRFI 159:
- State variables are first class and hygienic
- Added written-shared, pretty-shared
- Added as-color, pretty-colored
- Added ambiguous-is-wide? state variable
- Restored non-uniform comma rules as needed in India
- Restored upcased and downcased
- Several clarifications and more examples

SRFI Editor
