## Description

php-text-template is a logic-less PHP text templating engine and string placeholder replacement library. It serves as a template-based text generator for producing dynamic messages and documents from static text templates.

The library focuses on automated content formatting and custom template processing to inject variable content into structured text output. This enables dynamic text generation by replacing predefined keys within a string with specific data.
