Preparation HTML

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/jquery.min.js">
</script>
<script src="//ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jquery.validate/1.9/jquery.validate.min.js">
</script>
<script>
  String.prototype.format = function() {
    var args = arguments;
    return this.replace(/\{(\d)\}/g, function(a, b) {
      return typeof args[b] != 'undefined' ? args[b] : a;
    });
  }

  String.prototype.formatReplace = function() {
    var args = arguments,
        i = args.length - 1;
    var result = this;
    while (i >= 0) {
      result = result.replace('{' + i + '}', args[i]);
      i--;
    }
    return result;
  }

</script>

Setup

window.txt = "<ul><li>{0}</li><li>{1}</li><li>{2}</li></ul>";
    window.t1 = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.";
    window.t2 = "Aliquam tincidunt mauris eu risus.";
    window.t3 = "Vestibulum auctor dapibus neque.";
    window.ar1 = ["<ul><li>", "</li><li>", "</li><li>", "</li></ul>"];
    window.ar2 = ["Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit.", "Aliquam tincidunt mauris eu risus.", "Vestibulum auctor dapibus neque."];

ready
Something else 2
window.res = '';
for (i = 0; i < window.ar2.length; i++) {

}
window.res += window.ar1[i];
ready
String format function using Replace
window.res = window.txt.formatReplace(window.t1, window.t2, window.t3);
