Thanks everybody for your replies. I'll look at SBE and Seaside 2.9 as well for further examples.

You're right. I'd like to do more than simply left-justify: "%6.2f" 34.56 "space-padded right justified" "%-6.2f" 34.56 "space-padded left justified" "%02d" 05 "zero padded left justified" etc Your examples though gave me a good place to start.
