      Many customers often create a space template - a space with preset pages in it, which they use as a template for creating new spaces (such as project spaces).

      Currently, the only way to add instructional text to a page (that isn't a blueprint) is to insert the macro xHTML into the source (which in turn requires the source plugin and a knowledge of HTML at some level).

      The instructional text takes the following form:

      <ac:placeholder>This is some instructional text. </ac:placeholder>
      

      If you insert the text manually, you must also update it manually - the editor does not permit editing of the instructional text outside a blueprint.

      It would be a great way to add comments to a page (that aren't necessarily displayed to end users) as well as for our users who create space templates with pre-populated spaces.
