nsISupports
Last changed in Gecko 1.7 This interface is used by XUL:stringbundle to retrieve strings. It is recommended that you use the methods of XUL:stringbundle to access these functions unless necessary. Alternatively, a string bundle can be created within a javascript context with nsIStringBundleService.

Methods
formatStringFromID()
Returns a formatted string with the given ID from the string bundle, where each occurrence of %S (uppercase) is replaced by each successive element in the supplied array. You may also use other formatting codes. You can only pass Unicode strings in. The ID should refer to a string in the bundle that uses %S, and the number of strings you pass MUST be the same here and in the properties file (That is you can't omit %1 and use only %2). Do NOT try to use any other types. This uses nsTextFormatter::smprintf.
wstring formatStringFromID( in long aID, [array, size_is(length)] in wstring params, in unsigned long length );
Parameters
aID- The ID of the string to retrieve.
params- Parameters to pass in to the string.
length- The length of the parameter list.
Return value
Returns the formatted string.
formatStringFromName()
Returns a formatted string with the given key name from the string bundle, where each occurrence of %S (uppercase) is replaced by each successive element in the supplied array. You may also use other formatting codes, but can only pass Unicode strings in. The name should refer to a string in the bundle that uses %S, and the number of strings you pass MUST be the same here and in the properties file (That is you can't omit %1 and use only %2). Do NOT try to use any other types. this uses nsTextFormatter::smprintf to do the dirty work.
