The `format` directive is supplied by the [[!iki plugins/format
desc=format]] plugin.

The directive allows formatting a chunk of text using any available page
format. It takes two parameters. First is the type of format to use, ie the
extension that would be used for a standalone file of this type.  Second is
the text to format.

For example, this will embed an otl outline inside a page using mdwn or some
other format:

	\[[!format otl """
	foo
		1
		2
	bar
		3
		4
	"""]]

Note that if the [[!iki plugins/highlight desc=highlight]] plugin is
enabled, this directive can also be used to display syntax highlighted
code. Many languages and formats are supported. For example:

	\[[!format perl """
	print "hej, verden\n";
	"""]]

`format` can also be used to format entire source files and display them on
a page. Simply put an [[inline]] directive with the `raw` attribute set
inside a `format`. This can be useful if you want to both serve the file
raw, as well as show it syntax highlighted on a page. An example:

	\[[!format python """
	[[!inline pages="program.py" raw="yes"]]
	"""]]

	\[[View raw file|program.py]]

[[!meta robots="noindex, follow"]]
