Remarks

A composite format string consists of fixed text intermixed with indexed placeholders, called format items, that correspond to the objects in the list. The formatting operation yields a result string that consists of the original fixed text intermixed with the string representation of the objects in the list. Composite formatting is supported by methods such as String.Format, Console.WriteLine, and StringBuilder.AppendFormat. For more information on composite formatting, see Composite Formatting.

A FormattableString instance may result from an interpolated string in C# or Visual Basic.
