Fmt — OCaml Format pretty-printer combinators

Release 0.7.1

Fmt exposes combinators to devise Format pretty-printing functions.

Fmt depends only on the OCaml standard library. The optional Fmt_tty library that allows to setup formatters for terminal color output depends on the Unix library. The optional Fmt_cli library that provides command line support for Fmt depends on Cmdliner.

Fmt is distributed under the BSD3 license.
