public class HTMLFormat

extends java.lang.Object

Formats HTML text (or, really, any text) similar to MessageFormat but with the following features:

        1) pass a hashtable of key/value pairs
                keys MUST be String objects
                values can be any object that has a toString() method

        2) markup input text as follows:
                Simple Insertion:
                ================
                {name} = insert 'name', via the 'toString' method

                Formatted Insertion:
                ===================
                {date:name,}
                {decimal:name,}

                        specifiers are optional; locale-specific formatting used.

                Loops:
                =====
                {for:name

                        @@name@ 	<== insert name[position]
                }


                Reserved words:
                        "date:"
                        "decimal:"
                        "for:"
                Reserved Symbols:
                        "{", "}" 
                        '@' (in for loops only)



                what about arrays?
                index directly
                {name:3} 	3rd position of "name"
                {name:name2}  position "name2" in name (name2 must be an Integer)

                or:

                'for' loops for arrays
                {for:name
                        blah blah blah HTML here
                        @name (inserts name[i])
                }

                keywords:
                        for:name 			(uses array "name" for start/end)
                        for:start:end

                                                conditions is always "<"

                                                @@index 		current position
                                                @@indexplus	current position + 1 (for display purposes)
                                                @@variable@ 	
                                                @@variable@ 	



                        date:		// format-specifier: date
                        decimal: 	// format-specifier: decimal
