Formatter Implementations

Two implementations of formatter objects are provided by this module. Most applications may use one of these classes without modification or subclassing.

NullFormatter ([writer = None])
A formatter which does nothing. If writer is omitted, a NullWriter instance is created. No methods of the writer are called by NullWriter instances. Implementations should inherit from this class if implementing a writer interface but don't need to inherit any implementation.

AbstractFormatter (writer)
The standard formatter. This implementation has demonstrated wide applicability to many writers, and may be used directly in most circumstances. It has been used to implement a full-featured world-wide web browser.
