/**
 * Formats a string for HTML display by replacing variable placeholders.
 *
 * When cast to a string, this object replaces variable placeholders in the
 * string with the arguments passed in during construction and escapes the
 * values so they can be safely displayed as HTML. See the documentation of
 * \Drupal\Component\Render\FormattableMarkup::placeholderFormat() for details
 * on the supported placeholders and how to use them securely. Incorrect use of
 * this class can result in security vulnerabilities.
 *
 * In most cases, you should use TranslatableMarkup or PluralTranslatableMarkup
 * rather than this object, since they will translate the text (on
 * non-English-only sites) in addition to formatting it. Variables concatenated
 * without the insertion of language-specific words or punctuation are some
 * examples where translation is not applicable and using this class directly
 * is appropriate.
 *
 * This class is designed for formatting messages that are mostly text, not as
 * an HTML template language. As such:
 * - The passed in string should contain no (or minimal) HTML.
 * - The result from casting an object to a string should not be used within
 *   the "<" and ">" of an HTML tag, such as in HTML attribute values. This
 *   would be a security risk.
 * To build non-minimal HTML, use an HTML template language such as Twig,
 * rather than this class.

   *
   * @param string $string
   *   A string containing placeholders. The string itself is expected to be
   *   safe and correct HTML. Any unsafe content must be in $args and inserted
   *   via placeholders. It is insecure to use the @ or % placeholders within
   *   the "<"  and ">" of an HTML tag.
   * @param array $args
   *   An associative array of replacements. Each array key should be the same
   *   as a placeholder in $string. The corresponding value should be a string
   *   or an object that implements \Drupal\Component\Render\MarkupInterface.
   *   The args[] value replaces the placeholder in $string. Sanitization and
   *   formatting will be done before replacement. The type of sanitization
   *   and formatting depends on the first character of the key:
   *   - @variable: Use as the default choice for anything displayed on the
   *     site. Do not use within the "<" and ">" of an HTML tag, such as in
   *     HTML attribute values. Doing so is a security risk.
   *   - %variable: Use when @variable would be appropriate, but you want the
   *     placeholder value to be wrapped in an <em> tag with a placeholder
   *     class. As with @variable, do not use within the "<" and ">" of an HTML
   *     tag, such as in HTML attribute values. Doing so is a security risk.
   *   - :variable: Use when the return value is to be used as a URL value of an
   *     HTML attribute. Only the "href" attribute is supported. The return
   *     value is escaped with
   *     \Drupal\Component\Utility\Html::escape() and filtered for dangerous
   *     protocols using UrlHelper::stripDangerousProtocols(). Use this when
   *     using the "href" attribute, ensuring the value is always wrapped in
   *     quotes.
   *
   * @return string
   *   A formatted HTML string with the placeholders replaced.
