-   String Formatting
-   -----------------
-
-   The built-in string class provides the ability to do complex variable
-   substitutions and value formatting via the :func:`format` method described in
-   :pep:`3101`.  The :class:`Formatter` class in the :mod:`format` module allows
-   you to create and customize your own string formatting behaviors using the same
-   implementation as the built-in :meth:`format` method.
-
-
    .. class:: Formatter
 
-      The :class:`Formatter` class has the following public methods:
-
-      .. method:: format(format_string, *args, **kwargs)
-
-         :meth:`format` is the primary API method.  It takes a format string and
-         an arbitrary set of positional and keyword arguments.
-         :meth:`format` is just a wrapper that calls :meth:`vformat`.
-
-      .. method:: vformat(format_string, args, kwargs)
-
-         This function does the actual work of formatting.  It is exposed as a
-         separate function for cases where you want to pass in a predefined
-         dictionary of arguments, rather than unpacking and repacking the
-         dictionary as individual arguments using the ``*args`` and ``**kwds``
-         syntax.  :meth:`vformat` does the work of breaking up the format string
-         into character data and replacement fields.  It calls the various
-         methods described below.
-
       In addition, the :class:`Formatter` defines a number of methods that are
       intended to be replaced by subclasses:
