Merge String with Variables

I know that String.Format has the ability to format a string using
placeholders like {0}, {1}, {2} etc.

Is there a way to make a template that uses variables like <% MyVar1 %>
instead of {0}?
(The sole purpose is to increase readability. I will use {0} if there is no
other option.)

e.g.

"This is my template and this value is <% MyVar1 %> and the next value is <%
MyVar2 %>"

Then if I have MyVar1 and MyVar2 in code I want to merge them with the
template to get the final string value.
 
Not sure if I totally understand the question...but you might want to check out the use of
Strings.Format()
This has many overloaded options that could help you make this work...
