Instructional text
: Instructional text allows you to add placeholder content to
a template. This placeholder is only visible in the editor and disappears when
the author of the page begins typing in that placeholder.
These texts can provide instructions for users on how to use the template and
which data is expected at certain locations.
To insert an instructional text, perform the following steps:
1.
Place your cursor on the template where you want the instructional
text to appear.
2.
Click on
Template
on the editor toolbar.
3.
Select
Instructional Text
.
4.
Start typing; the instructional text appears in italics with a shaded
background to distinguish it from the normal paragraph text.
The type of the placeholder can be changed from "text" to a "user mention",
which starts the mention's autocomplete when the author starts typing.
To change the placeholder type, click on the placeholder and select
User Mention
.

variable as shown in the following screenshot. Users can enter data into each
field and the data is then inserted onto the new page:
