## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ format()

virtual FormattedPlaceholder icu::message2::Formatter::format | ( | FormattedPlaceholder && | toFormat,
|  | FunctionOptions && | options,
|  | UErrorCode & | status
| ) |  | const
| pure virtual

Formats the input passed in `context` by setting an output using one of the `FormattingContext` methods or indicating an error.

Parameters

  toFormat | Placeholder, including a source formattable value and possibly the output of a previous formatter applied to it; see `message2::FormattedPlaceholder` for details. Passed by move.
  options | The named function options. Passed by move
  status | Input/output error code. Should not be set directly by the custom formatter, which should use `FormattingContext::setFormattingWarning()` to signal errors. The custom formatter may pass `status` to other ICU functions that can signal errors using this mechanism.

Returns
  The formatted value.
