Format::forml ToBoxForm::forml

Details

  • This message is generated when formatting rules generate infinite recursion, or require recursion depth that exceeds the value of $RecursionLimit.
  • This error can normally be corrected through careful analysis of any formatting or typesetting rules that have been added.
  • Off[message] switches off the message; On[message] switches it on. For example: Off[Format::forml].

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

The right-hand side of this formatting rule involves an expression that matches the rule:

Wolfram Language code: Format[test[p_]] := p test[1]
Wolfram Language code: OutputForm[test[6]]

This shows a formatting rule that does not generate infinite recursion:

Wolfram Language code: Format[test[p_]] := p "test"[1]
Wolfram Language code: OutputForm[test[6]]

Remove the formatting rule for test:

Wolfram Language code: Format[test[p_]]=.
