 Basic placeholders provided by the plugin. Most of these placeholders were added because they were requested by people who don't want to install another plugin just to show username. Some of them have configurable output in config.yml in `Placeholders` section. Unused placeholders do not affect performance in any way.
 
-Placeholders must be refreshed. All internal placeholders have manually defined refresh interval, which I found the most optimal and cannot be changed. Time is in milliseconds. `-1` is used for placeholders which are in fact constants (such as %player%), or fire an event each time they change, which can be listened to (such as %world%) and value updated. Refresh interval for conditions is set to be equal to fastest refreshing placeholder used inside each condition.

-| %ping%           | 500 | Player's ping to the server where TAB is installed. <br />**Note**: This value is measured by the server and TAB is only retrieving that value. If it's wrong, it's not a TAB issue. |

 # Relational placeholders
 ## About
-Unlike classic placeholders which take either 0 (placeholders with same output for all players) or 1 (per-player placeholders) players, relational placeholders take in 2 players. The first usage was to display relation between two players, specifically enemies / allies (red / green) for factions, allowing players to see faction names of other players colored based on relation. While the usage is not limited to this, the name of the 2-player placeholder type has been established as "relational" and will be called that everywhere.

 ## Usage
 TAB does not offer any internal relational placeholders. However, it has full support for PlaceholderAPI placeholders. You can also register your own relational placeholders using the [API](#relational-placeholders-1). In PlaceholderAPI, all relational placeholder identifiers must start with `%rel_`. This rule is adopted and used in TAB as well (including those registered via API).

 # Refreshing
 ## Refresh intervals
 TAB is refreshing placeholders in intervals. For internal placeholders it's using values I found the most optimal and set directly in the plugin. Refresh intervals for PlaceholderAPI placeholders can be [configured](https://github.com/NEZNAMY/TAB/wiki/Optimizing-the-plugin#2---placeholder-refresh-intervals).
 
 ## Sync refreshing
-By default, all placeholders are refreshed asynchronously so they don't slow down the server, since reading should be a thread-safe operation. Some placeholders, however, require to be refreshed in the main thread, causing problems or throwing errors when refreshed asynchronously. For these, replace them with `%sync:<original placeholder>%` and they will be refreshed in the main thread, for example `%server_total_entities%` -> `%sync:server_total_entities%`.  
-Keep in mind that now you should configure reasonable refresh interval for these placeholders to not cause TPS drops (with async placeholders it doesn't really matter). Configured refresh intervals and CPU usage of placeholders can be checked using `/tab cpu`.

 # Placeholder is not working
 When using a placeholder, you should know if it's a [TAB's internal placeholder](#internal-placeholders) or a [PlaceholderAPI placeholder](https://github.com/PlaceholderAPI/PlaceholderAPI/wiki/Placeholders). If you don't, that's the problem.
 
-**Note:** Don't forget that using `%` symbol will mess up placeholder starts and ends, breaking all placeholders after it. To make the symbol display correctly without messing up placeholders, use `%%` to display the symbol.

 # Expansions
-In order to effectively scale and allow the level of modification it does, PlaceholderAPI is using placeholder packages called expansions. They are loaded into the plugin on startup. Each expansion can be created and modified independently of the main plugin's update frequency. Each expansion has a name, which is used to identify its placeholders.  
-The syntax is `%<expansion>_<placeholder>%`, where `<expansion>` is name of the expansion, for example `player` and `<placeholder>` is placeholder of the expansion, for example `health`, which returns player's health. The full placeholder syntax will then be `%player_health%`.

With every limitation I find, I look for ways to bypass it, and I've found most of them.
