/** \brief  Format String Converter
  *
  *  Formats a string similarly to the way printf does before outputting it. 
  *  Format specifiers corresponding to parameters (ie- <tt>\%d</tt>, <tt>\%s</tt>, 
  *  <tt>\%c</tt>, etc) are assigned to the order in which an input is given. <br><br>
  *  For example:  <br>
  *  If the format string is <tt>"Value1: \%d  Value2: \%f"</tt>, this converter expects at
  *  least two inputs and will try to extract the first as an integer and the second
  *  as a float. If the second input is missing, the outputted result next to 
  *  <tt>"Value2:"</tt> would be <tt>"\#double\#"</tt>.<br>
  *  <br>
  *  input: [0,MAX_CONVERTER_INPUT] <br>
  *  ouput: [1,MAX_CONVERTER_OUTPUT] <br>
  *  parameters: <br>
  *     \b format \a (string) <br>
