Wouldn't it be easier (for user) to specify
template-like file (HTML + some marks)
and the library would fill in marked areas with data?

HTML-like templates would be easy to create
and verify. The C++ code won't need to contain
complex embedded CCS. Mistakes in template
could be handled gracefully. Missing template
could be handled too.

When I want debug dump the last thing I need
is playing with subtlety of another language.
