-1 parce que ça ne correspond pas au sens donné dans le contexte. Le # {} %1 %s etc. n'est pas un blanc à complété commen dans un formulaire, mais sert d'emplacement à un texte de substitution.

It does hold the place nicely for the final text to come. Note that eventhough it says blanc, it doesn't mean the space has to be left blank; hence the use of an underline showing clearly that it needs to be filled later. | |
