C-string style special characters like \n and \r are +also supported (this is useful when the format string is not a C string +literal). +It is advisable to always escape curly braces that +are meant to be copied to the output as ordinary characters. + +</para><para> + +Each tags is introduced by the character "%", +followed by an optional minimum field width, +followed by tag contents in curly braces ({}). +If the minimum field width value is provided the tag +will be expanded and the result padded to achieve the minimum width. +If the minimum field width is positive, the padding will right-align +the text. Negative field width will left-align. +The rest of this section describes various supported tag contents +and their expansion. + +</para><para> + +A <firstterm>simple</firstterm> tag +is one where the content is an identifier. When simple +tags are expanded, the named identifier will be looked up in +<parameter>pattern</parameter> and the resulting list of values returned, +joined together using comma. For example, to print the family name and style the +pattern, use the format "%{family} %{style}\n". To extend the family column +to forty characters use "%-40{family}%{style}\n". + +</para><para> + +Simple tags expand to list of all values for an element. To only choose +one of the values, one can index using the syntax "%{elt[idx]}". For example, +to get the first family name only, use "%{family[0]}". + +</para><para> + +If a simple tag ends with "=" and the element is found in the pattern, the +name of the element followed by "=" will be output before the list of values. +For example, "%{weight=}" may expand to the string "weight=80". Or to the empty +string if <parameter>pattern</parameter> does not have weight set. + +</para><para> + +If a simple tag starts with ":" and the element is found in the pattern, ":" +will be printed first. For example, combining this with the =, the format +"%{:weight=}" may expand to ":weight=80" or to the empty string +if <parameter>pattern</parameter> does not have weight set. + +</para><para> + +If a simple tag contains the string ":-", the rest of the the tag contents +will be used as a default string. The default string is output if the element +is not found in the pattern. For example, the format +"%{:weight=:-123}" may expand to ":weight=80" or to the string +":weight=123" if <parameter>pattern</parameter> does not have weight set. + +</para><para> + +A <firstterm>count</firstterm> tag +is one that starts with the character "#" followed by an element +name, and expands to the number of values for the element in the pattern. +For example, "%{#family}" expands to the number of family names +<parameter>pattern</parameter> has set, which may be zero. + +</para><para> + +A <firstterm>sub-expression</firstterm> tag +is one that expands a sub-expression. The tag contents +are the sub-expression to expand placed inside another set of curly braces. +Sub-expression tags are useful for aligning an entire sub-expression, or to +apply converters (explained later) on an entire sub-expression. +For example, the format "%40{{%{family} %{style}}}" expands the sub-expression +to construct the family name followed by the style, then takes the entire +string and pads it on the left to be at least forty characters. + +</para><para> + +A <firstterm>filter-out</firstterm> tag +is one starting with the character "-" followed by a +comma-separated list of element names, followed by a sub-expression enclosed +in curly braces. The sub-expression will be expanded but with a pattern that +has the listed elements removed from it. +For example, the format "%{-size,pixelsize{sub-expr}}" will expand "sub-expr" +with <parameter>pattern</parameter> sans the size and pixelsize elements. + +</para><para> + +A <firstterm>filter-in</firstterm> tag +is one starting with the character "+" followed by a +comma-separated list of element names, followed by a sub-expression enclosed +in curly braces. The sub-expression will be expanded but with a pattern that +only has the listed elements from the surrounding pattern. +For example, the format "%{+family,familylang{sub-expr}}" will expand "sub-expr" +with a sub-pattern consisting only the family and family lang elements of +<parameter>pattern</parameter>. + +</para><para> + +A <firstterm>conditional</firstterm> tag +is one starting with the character "?" followed by a +comma-separated list of element conditions, followed by two sub-expression +enclosed in curly braces. An element condition can be an element name, +in which case it tests whether the element is defined in pattern, or +the character "!" followed by an element name, in which case the test +is negated. The conditional passes if all the element conditions pass. +The tag expands the first sub-expression if the conditional passes, and +expands the second sub-expression otherwise. +For example, the format "%{?size,dpi,!pixelsize{pass}{fail}}" will expand +to "pass" if <parameter>pattern</parameter> has size and dpi elements but +no pixelsize element, and to "fail" otherwise. + +</para><para> + +An <firstterm>enumerate</firstterm> tag +is one starting with the string "[]" followed by a +comma-separated list of element names, followed by a sub-expression enclosed +in curly braces. The list of values for the named elements are walked in +parallel and the sub-expression expanded each time with a pattern just having +a single value for those elements, starting from the first value and +continuing as long as any of those elements has a value. +For example, the format "%{[]family,familylang{%{family} (%{familylang})\n}}" +will expand the pattern "%{family} (%{familylang})\n" with a pattern +having only the first value of the family and familylang elemtns, then expands +it with the second values, then the third, etc. + +</para><para> + +As a special case, if an enumerate tag has only one element, and that element +has only one value in the pattern, and that value is of type FcLangSet, the +individual languages in the language set are enumerated. + +</para><para> + +A <firstterm>builtin</firstterm> tag +is one starting with the character "=" followed by a builtin +name. The following builtins are defined: + +<variablelist> + +<varlistentry><term> +unparse +</term><listitem><para> +Expands to the result of calling FcNameUnparse() on the pattern. +</para></listitem></varlistentry> + +<varlistentry><term> +fcmatch +</term><listitem><para> +Expands to the output of the default output format of the fc-match +command on the pattern, without the final newline. +</para></listitem></varlistentry> + +<varlistentry><term> +fclist +</term><listitem><para> +Expands to the output of the default output format of the fc-list +command on the pattern, without the final newline. +</para></listitem></varlistentry> + +<varlistentry><term> +pkgkit +</term><listitem><para> +Expands to the list of PackageKit font() tags for the pattern. +Currently this includes tags for each family name, and each language +from the pattern, enumerated and sanitized into a set of tags terminated +by newline.
