   I am not sure if this belongs to commons-lang. It has a practical use, and I can see you put some effort to document it and write some tests (thanks for that). But being a low level library, I feel like this would be a very simplistic template engine.
   
   Don't have time to create a working example, but I suspect I could do that with Apache Commons JEXL, Apache Velocity, or another complete template engine.
   
   This looks more related to Apache Commons Text (plus `StringUtils` is quite bloated too), but I would still keep the argument above before merging it into [text]. The replacement part can be done with `StrSubstitutor` from text. The iteration part, that creates multiple `<td>` entries... well, that part I am not sure if we have in Commons Lang or Text something similar.
   
   Anyway, if others still want to merge this new feature, it might be a good idea to drop an e-mail to the mailing list to see what others think.
   
   Cheers
   Bruno
