More breaking changes on the way to 13
Sorry for bothering again,
when opening my project with the latest UI snapshot I get notified of the two following errors:

> Unknown function string:format.
I suppose I need to move to string constructors `` in that point. Right?

> Unknown annotation: %ws:header-param
This is a bit less clear how to fix...
Ciao,
Marco.
Hi Marco,
Re the websocket annotation: Not tried it yet, but I think the guidance is at the bottom of https://docs.basex.org/13/WebSockets
Something like ...
1. remove %ws:header-param(hdname,argname)
2. remove argname from function arguments
3. insert let $argname:=request:header(hdname)
/Andy

For strings, you can now use fn:pad-strings [1].
Hope this helps, Christian
But fn:pad-strings just pads, no? string:format wrapped Java printf [1] /Andy

…true indeed. For other types, format-integer, format-number or format-(date|time|dateTime) can be used.
