-There are other `format specifiers`_.
+There is also another way to format text in GDScript, namely the ``String.format()``
+method. It replaces all occurrences of a key in the string with the corresponding
+value. The method can handle arrays or dictionaries for the key/value pairs.
+
+Arrays can be used as key, index, or mixed style (see below examples). Order only
+matters when the index or mixed style of Array is used.
+
+A quick example in GDScript::
+
+    # Define a format string
+    var format_string = "We're waiting for {str}"
+
+    # Using the 'format' method, replace the 'str' placeholder
+    var actual_string = format_string.format({"str":"Godot"})
+
+    print(actual_string)

+
+There are other `format specifiers`_, but they are only applicable when using
+the ``%`` operator.

+Format method examples
+----------------------
+
+The following are some examples of how to use the various invocations of the
+``String.format``  method.

+
+Placeholders can also be customized when using ``String.format``, here's some
+examples of that functionality.
+

+| **Type**        | **Example**                                      | **Result**       |
++-----------------+--------------------------------------------------+------------------+
+| Infix (default) | "Hi, {0} v{1}".format(["Godette", "3.0"], "{_}") | Hi, Godette v3.0 |

+
+Combining both the ``String.format`` method and the ``%`` operator could be useful as
+``String.format`` does not have a way to manipulate the representation of numbers.
