Replaces the given pattern within the text by replacement.

.
replacement may contain references to matching parts.
Examples
Example 1:
{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|ab|AB}}
Replaces "ab" with "AB".
Result:
{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|ab|AB}}
Example 2:
{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?)r/|A\1r}}
Replaces "a" by "A" if there is an "r" somewhere after the "a". The "\1r" part is needed to put back the original text into the replaced string.
{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?)r/|A}}
(without the "\1r") would otherwise lead to "{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?)r/|A}}".
Result:
{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?)r/|A\1r}}
Example 3:
{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?)r/|A\1_r_}}
Replaces "a" by "A" if there is an "r" somewhere after the "a" and also replaces the "r" at the end of the found group(s) by "_r_".
Result:
{{#dplreplace:abrakadabra|/a(.*?)r/|A\1_r_}}
