+# `String Constructor` (aka Text-Formatting) nodes
+
+There's a plenty of string-formatting nodes for ComfyUI. But this node pack takes a different approach:
+- First, you prepare a dictionary of named sub-strings (chunks of text).
+- Then, right before `CLIP Text Encode`, you construct a final prompt from these parts, using python's [string formatting syntax](https://docs.python.org/3/library/string.html#format-examples)... **Don't panic!** You don't need to be a programmer to simply compose a prompt from pieces. Besides, examples are below.
+- Unlike many other _(giant uber-mega)_ node packs, this one strictly adheres to the modularity paradigm: it's minimal and self-sufficient.
