+### Icon patterns
+
+Some monitors allow usage of strings that depend on some integer value
+from 0 to 8 by replacing all occurences of `"%%"` with it
+(i.e. `"<icon=/path/to/icon_%%.xpm/>"` will be interpreted
+as `"<icon=/path/to/icon_3.xpm/>"` when the value is `3`, also `"%"` is interpreted
+as `"%"`, `"%%"` as `"3"`, `"%%%"` as `"3%"`, `"%%%%"` as `"33"` and so on). Essentially
+it allows to replace vertical bars with custom icons. For example,
