I would like to use a document or message template which can be loaded from a content management system or file/object data base for example in a format string that is passed to your function "fastformat::fmt". These input data can contain characters which will be interpreted by your parsing engine for its own processing purposes.

A couple of such document templates will also contain source code examples for programming languages that use curly braces in their syntax to enclose code scopes or variable names.

Would you like to add an utility function which provides the desired quoting or escaping for (nested) placeholder, field or parameter markers?

    Would you mind starting a thread on the Open Discusion forum - https://sourceforge.net/projects/fastformat/forums/forum/612781 - so we can explore this issue more easily?

    Thanks
