[ Up: Operation Reference ]

Formats a string, taking a template as input and replacing the placeholder elements, defined using the syntax {% placeholderName %} with values from corresponding inputs. The inputs are configured in the properties menu of the operation. Inputs can be supplied as ObjectDictionaries and elements are accessible as placeholders using '.' syntax, e.g. {% placeholderDict.name %}. It is possible to escape the {% and %} character sequences with a single backslash if they are needed verbatim.
