In a few sentences

In brief

string.Template uses placeholders such as $name for text substitution. substitute() expects the required values; safe_substitute() can leave unresolved placeholders in the result.

Useful to know

string.Template uses placeholders such as $name for text substitution. substitute() expects the required values; safe_substitute() can leave unresolved placeholders in the result. [1]

Here, safe does not mean safe HTML or SQL. It describes missing-value behaviour, not protection for every later use. Choose escaping or parameterization separately according to where the resulting text will be used.
