Details

Placeholders are words that are enclosed between an opening tag and an end tag. These tags can be specified as arguments ps_ph_open_tag and ps_ph_end_tag. The word between the tags corresponds to the name of the placeholder. This name is also used as a name in the list of replacement values. The value with which the placeholder is to be replaced is given as the list element associated with the name of the placeholder.
