60<P>
61Two implementations of formatter objects are provided by this module.
62Most applications may use one of these classes without modification or
63subclassing.

70A formatter which does nothing. If <var>writer</var> is omitted, a
71<tt class="class">NullWriter</tt> instance is created. No methods of the writer are
72called by <tt class="class">NullFormatter</tt> instances. Implementations should
73inherit from this class if implementing a writer interface but don't
74need to inherit any implementation.

82The standard formatter. This implementation has demonstrated wide
83applicability to many writers, and may be used directly in most
84circumstances. It has been used to implement a full-featured
