It seems that the documentation for your function "fastformat::fmt" is still incomplete. But I see in your source code examples there and in your ACCU articles that a per cent sign, square brackets or curly braces mark parts of the format string which will be replaced by data that corresponds to various syntax and semantics.

I would appreciate that markers can consists of multiple characters and strings.

I imagine that your class library can benefit from experiences out of application areas like the following.
1. literate programming
2. domain-specific modelling
3. multi-lingual parsing

Would you like to add support for detailed configuration of placeholder (or field/parameter) markers?

    Would you mind starting a thread on the Open Discusion forum - https://sourceforge.net/projects/fastformat/forums/forum/612781 - so we can explore this issue more easily?

    Thanks
