###  | # Boost.Regex ## Format String Syntax | ###

Format strings are used by the algorithm regex_replace and by match_results::format, and are used to transform one string into another.

There are three kind of format string: Sed, Perl and Boost-extended.

Alternatively, when the flag `format_literal` is passed to one of these functions, then the format string is treated as a string literal, and is copied unchanged to the output.
