Good progress with applying rules, room for improvement

Rules are applied, however some bugs remain:
- The HashMap for rules should be replaced by a Vec so they can be
  stored in order and not randomly
- For some reasons, the `%` is not removed from some rules in the
  private function `update_rules` in the `Settings` struct.
- Make it so replacements between square brackets work correctly
