I adjusted these docs in #65332 but wasn't happy with the result when seeing it in rustdoc. So this reorders the subsections in the "Formatting Parameters" section to be more logical (subsections that reference width come after the width subsection) and they also all have examples now.

FWIW, I do not understand this paragraph. Do they mean nested format!?

Yes, essentially -- i.e., strings definitely implement padding. So if padding is desired, a guaranteed way to obtain it is to format a string (and that string can be obtained via formatting).

I agree this paragraph is pretty confusing.

I agree this paragraph is pretty confusing.

I reformulated the last sentence and added an example. Does that sound right?

Indeed, that helps I think.
