function drupal_placeholder in Drupal 8

Same name and namespace in other branches
  1. 7 includes/bootstrap.inc \drupal_placeholder()

Formats text for emphasized display in a placeholder inside a sentence.

Deprecated

in drupal:8.0.0 and is removed from drupal:9.0.0. Use \Drupal\Component\Render\FormattableMarkup or Twig's "placeholder" filter instead. Note this method should not be used to simply emphasize a string and therefore has few valid use-cases. Note also, that this method does not mark the string as safe.
