ST.format() Javadoc examples not with expected result

[chwt]

In the Java API doc of ST.format() the following example code statements can be seen:

ST.format("name, phone | <name>:<phone>", n, p);
ST.format("<%1>:<%2>", n, p);
ST.format("<name>:<phone>", "name", x, "phone", y);

But that example statements do not work as expected:

import org.stringtemplate.v4.ST;

public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String n = "n";
        String p = "p";
        String x = "x";
        String y = "y";
        System.out.println(ST.format("name, phone | <name>:<phone>", n, p));
        System.out.println(ST.format("<%1>:<%2>", n, p));
        System.out.println(ST.format("<name>:<phone>", "name", x, "phone", y));
    }
}

results in the following output:

context [anonymous] 1:15 attribute name isn't defined
name, phone | :
n:p
:
context [anonymous] 1:22 attribute phone isn't defined
context [anonymous] 1:1 attribute name isn't defined
context [anonymous] 1:8 attribute phone isn't defined

How should ST.format() be used?

@parrt I can't find any indication that ST.format ever supported any form except the one with positional arguments.
