  "textContent": "augustss:\n\n> I’d be happy if there was a `fromString` on the result so we could get a `Text`, but that’s not in the spec I used when I implemented interpolation in MicroHs.\n\nThe proposal should mention that `fromString` is added with `-XOverloadedStrings`. Otherwise, it will only ever be String, as normal.\n\naugustss:\n\n> I mean things like width of a field, left/right justified, number of decimals for a float, etc\n\nNo, nothing like that right now. I was never a fan of hardcoded format specifiers that bless certain types, and it would move the feature even further towards magic implicit conversions. You can easily implement in user-land, perhaps in an `interpolate-contrib` package if necessary",
