A placeholder is a temporary token or variable used in templates or code to stand in for actual content that will be filled in later. It's like a "fill-in-the-blank" marker.
Placeholder | Meaning | Example of Use |
---|---|---|
{:name} or {name} | Person's name | "Hello, {name}!" becomes "Hello, Calvin!" |
{:badgeType} | Type of account or user badge | "You have a {:badgeType} account" becomes "You have a Premium account" |
{{date}} | A specific date | "Report due: {{date}}" → "Report due: May 30, 2025" |
%USERNAME% | User login name | Used in system messages like "Welcome, %USERNAME%" |
<title> | Page or article title | <title>Your Page</title> gets replaced with real content in HTML |
[insert image here] | Visual placeholder | For where an image will go in a layout |
lorem ipsum | Text placeholder | Used in design to fill space until real text is added |
The text
Noemi has a {:badgeType} account
likely comes from a system that hasn’t yet filled in whether it’s a Premium, Verified, or Creator Mode account.
