/**
 * 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
 * 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.
 * - Variable placeholders should not be used within the "<" and ">" of an
 *   HTML tag, such as in HTML attribute values. This would be a security
 *   risk. Examples:
 *   @code
 *     // Insecure (placeholder within "<" and ">"):
 *     $this->placeholderFormat('<@variable>text</@variable>', ['@variable' => $variable]);
 *     // Insecure (placeholder within "<" and ">"):
 *     $this->placeholderFormat('<a @variable>link text</a>', ['@variable' => $variable]);
 *     // Insecure (placeholder within "<" and ">"):
 *     $this->placeholderFormat('<a title="@variable">link text</a>', ['@variable' => $variable]);
 *   @endcode
 *   Only the "href" attribute is supported via the special ":variable"
 *   placeholder, to allow simple links to be inserted:
 *   @code
 *     // Secure (usage of ":variable" placeholder for href attribute):
 *     $this->placeholderFormat('<a href=":variable">link text</a>', [':variable' , $variable]);
 *     // Secure (usage of ":variable" placeholder for href attribute):
 *     $this->placeholderFormat('<a href=":variable" title="static text">link text</a>', [':variable' => $variable]);
 *     // Insecure (the "@variable" placeholder does not filter dangerous
 *     // protocols):
 *     $this->placeholderFormat('<a href="@variable">link text</a>', ['@variable' => $variable]);
 *     // Insecure ("@variable" placeholder within "<" and ">"):
 *     $this->placeholderFormat('<a href=":url" title="@variable">link text</a>', [':url' => $url, '@variable' => $variable]);
 *   @endcode
 * To build non-minimal HTML, use an HTML template language such as Twig,
 * rather than this class.

     * @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 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: When the placeholder replacement value is:
     *     - A string, the replaced value in the returned string will be sanitized
     *       using \Drupal\Component\Utility\Html::escape().
     *     - A MarkupInterface object, the replaced value in the returned string
     *       will not be sanitized.
     *     - A MarkupInterface object cast to a string, the replaced value in the
     *       returned string be forcibly sanitized using
     *       \Drupal\Component\Utility\Html::escape().
     *       @code
     *         $this->placeholderFormat('This will force HTML-escaping of the replacement value: @text', ['@text' => (string) $safe_string_interface_object));
     *       @endcode
     *     Use this placeholder as the default choice for anything displayed on
     *     the site, but not within HTML attributes, JavaScript, or CSS. Doing so
     *     is a security risk.
     *   - %variable: Use when the replacement value is to be wrapped in <em>
     *     tags.
     *     A call like:
     *     @code
     *       $string = "%output_text";
     *       $arguments = ['%output_text' => 'text output here.'];
     *       $this->placeholderFormat($string, $arguments);
     *     @endcode
     *     makes the following HTML code:
     *     @code
     *       <em class="placeholder">text output here.</em>
     *     @endcode
     *     As with @variable, do not use this within HTML attributes, JavaScript,
     *     or CSS. Doing so is a security risk.
     *   - :variable: 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 attribute value is always
     *     wrapped in quotes:
     *     @code
     *     // Secure (with quotes):
     *     $this->placeholderFormat('<a href=":url">@variable</a>', [':url' => $url, '@variable' => $variable]);
     *     // Insecure (without quotes):
     *     $this->placeholderFormat('<a href=:url>@variable</a>', [':url' => $url, '@variable' => $variable]);
     *     @endcode
     *     When ":variable" comes from arbitrary user input, the result is secure,
     *     but not guaranteed to be a valid URL (which means the resulting output
     *     could fail HTML validation). To guarantee a valid URL, use
     *     Url::fromUri($user_input)->toString() (which either throws an exception
     *     or returns a well-formed URL) before passing the result into a
     *     ":variable" placeholder.
     *
     * @return string
     *   A formatted HTML string with the placeholders replaced.
