Is it good to have a common character lika that as a separator?

What happens if you have two %t in one statement "%t1text%t2text;%t3text"?

My question is if the %t couldn't be a good separator itself?

Will we be satisfied with only 0 to 9 seconds as a resolution? I think we
gain more if we use millisecond resolution and from 0 to 99 instead.

Maybe "%t15" will make it delay 1.5 seconds?
If you must have number after the %tx then you write "%t05" (for 0.5 seconds
delay).

Having "%t" as a separator will also prevent the user from having a subline
without a %t (and no need for default delay on those sublines).

It can be a bit messy to read it...

Have you thought of a syntax like:

  %t5{%s%ia - %it} %t1{%fb} %t2{%pc %pr}

I.e. the %t takes the content within the brackets and also eats any trailing
space.

Try it on the simulator first.
