When I go to [https://nim-lang.org/docs/theindex.html](https://nim-lang.org/docs/theindex.html) and search for "format" there are too many hits but eventually I arrive at "formatFloat". When I search for "formatFloat" I find what is suggested here, if I search for "floatformat" I get a hit to FloatFormatMode pointing me to strutils which contains "formatFloat". The docs say proc formatFloat(f: float; format: FloatFormatMode = ffDefault; precision: range[0 .. 32] = 16; decimalSep = '.'): string At this point you need to be able to read Nim's type signatures. More examples for this proc would be nice indeed but I don't see how they would have helped you in finding the proc in the first place. > just about everything We have `theindex.html` that contains links to just about everything. It didn't seem to have helped you. As I keep saying, there are limits to what we can do about the fact that people do not read text on the screen. I just did the same for Python: Starting at [https://docs.python.org/3](https://docs.python.org/3)/ I go to [https://docs.python.org/3/genindex.html](https://docs.python.org/3/genindex.html) then to [https://docs.python.org/3/genindex-F.html](https://docs.python.org/3/genindex-F.html) then to [https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#format](https://docs.python.org/3/library/functions.html#format) and I arrive [https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#formatspec](https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#formatspec) which keeps me puzzled.
