Joomla - Where do {} brackets work?

Just a simple question - aside from articles, where do {} (replacement tags?) work on Joomla?

Actually, it depends on both the plug-in and the content type as to whether or not a replacement tags are acted on.

The first part is that the content type (component/modules) has to trigger the event type the plugin belongs to. Not all content types do it automatically, some for example have a setting per item (e.g. modules have a "Prepare Content" setting).

Joomla 3 Prepare content option for Custom HTML Modules

Finally, the plugin may test the content type and exclude itself from anything it doesn't recognise, or may only work on com_content i.e. standard Joomla articles.

These {} tags work in all content systems which parse text. So modules, articles and other content components which display text.
