<DD>Formats the number following <tt>printf</tt> conventions.
          Main limitation: Can only handle one format parameter at a time
          Use multiple Format objects to format more than one number
<P>
<DT><B>Parameters:</B><DD><CODE>s</CODE> - the format string following printf conventions
          The string has a prefix, a format code and a suffix. The prefix and suffix
          become part of the formatted output. The format code directs the
          formatting of the (single) parameter to be formatted. The code has the
          following structure
          <ul>
          <li> a % (required)
          <li> a modifier (optional)
          <dl>
          <dt> + <dd> forces display of + for positive numbers
          <dt> 0 <dd> show leading zeroes
          <dt> - <dd> align left in the field
          <dt> space <dd> prepend a space in front of positive numbers
          <dt> # <dd> use "alternate" format. Add 0 or 0x for octal or hexadecimal numbers. Don't suppress trailing zeroes in general floating point format.
          </dl>
          <li> an integer denoting field width (optional)
          <li> a period followed by an integer denoting precision (optional)
          <li> a format descriptor (required)
          <dl>
          <dt>f <dd> floating point number in fixed format
          <dt>e, E <dd> floating point number in exponential notation (scientific format). The E format results in an uppercase E for the exponent (1.14130E+003), the e format in a lowercase e.
          <dt>g, G <dd> floating point number in general format (fixed format for small numbers, exponential format for large numbers). Trailing zeroes are suppressed. The G format results in an uppercase E for the exponent (if any), the g format in a lowercase e.
          <dt>d, i <dd> integer in decimal
          <dt>x <dd> integer in hexadecimal
          <dt>o <dd> integer in octal
