std::format and Custom Types (a 1500 word - exclusive article)

Hello!

Today I'm happy to present a new bonus article about std::format and custom types.

You can find an introduction to std::format in a guest post at C++ Stories:

https://www.cppstories.com/2020/02/extra-format-cpp20.html/

But how about formatting custom types?

For streams, you could just override operator<<, is this also simple for std::format?

See in the attached pdf article: format_custom_types.pdf

The article comes from a recent discussion at our Discord Server. The topic was so interesting that I tried to understand the details and wrote the article.

Attached there are also recent pdfs of the blog posts.

Best regards

Bartek
