-- Build the formspec frame
--
-- This function builds and displays a formspec based on the input.
--
-- The `name` is the usual formspec name (for example `mymod:my_formspec`) and
-- has to be provided as a simple string all other parameters are provided via
-- the `def` table. The following table is an example.
--
-- {
-- title = 'Nice Title' -- Automatically prefixed for orientation
-- prefix = '[Blarb] ' -- Optional title prefix
-- width = 8, -- Optional width of the content container
-- height = 3, -- Optional height of the content container
-- show_to = 'Playername' -- Name of the player to show the formspec to
-- add_buttons = false -- Optionally hide buttons
-- content_offset = 0 -- Optionally Offset content height position
-- formspec = {} -- Table with formspec definition
-- }
--
-- When set the title is prefixed with the prefix value. If omitted “[mTimer] ”
-- is used. The example creates “[Blarb] Nice Title” as title. Translated
-- strings can be used here. The Title and prefix are “formspec-safe” so
-- strings that are formspec elements can be used to show them literal.
--
-- The default buttons can be hidden by adding `add_buttons = false` to the
-- definition table. If omitted the buttons are shown. When not shown the
-- formspec size will be reduced by the amout of units the buttons would
-- have taken place.
--
-- Some formspec elements do nbot properly start at 0,0 even if set so. The
-- `content_offset` attribute offsets the content vertically by the given
-- amount of units. Formspec height and button positions are fixed according
-- to the given value.
--
-- The table entries for `formspec` are the usual formspec elements that
-- define what a formspec looks like. You can write all definition in one entry
-- or split the definition into multiple entries.
--
-- The definition defines the CONTENT of the formspec not the whole formspec so
-- you can easily start at 0,0 for your definition. The function automatically
-- places everything in relation to the formspec frame and default buttons.
--
-- The minimum formspec width and height are 8 units in width and 3 units in
-- height. So `width` and `height` can be omitted when all of your content fits
-- into the default size. The resulting formspec is a minimum of 8 units wide
-- and 4.6 units high (1.6 units are added for the title and the buttons).
--
-- All formspec table entries can contain the following variables. Variables
-- start with a plus sign (+) and are read until any character that is not
-- a letter. Some variables are useless, some can be used quite well.
--
-- Variable Name Value Type
-- --------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- +width width of the formspec
-- +height height of the formspec
-- +linewidth optimal width for a box that is used as horizontal line
-- +title formspecs title
-- +content content container vertical position (+offset)
-- +buttons default buttons vertical position
-- +defbutton “Default” buttons horizontal position
-- +mainbutton “Main Menu” buttons horizontal position
-- +exitbutton “Exit” buttons horizontal position
--
-- @param name The name of the formspec
-- @param def The definition table as described
-- @return string the constructed “frame”
