  <p>Placeholders are useful for inserting the text of parts and answer boxes at specific points in the question. There are two types of placeholders:</p>
  <ul>
    <li>part's text placeholder (discussed below)</li>
    <li>answer box placeholder (discussed on the next page)
  </ul>
</div>
The part's text placeholder allows inserting the text of a part at a particular point in the main question. The placeholder name is a string starting with <span style="font-family: monospace;font-size:113%;">#</span> and followed by a string of alphanumeric characters <span style="font-family: monospace;font-size:113%;">[A-Z a-z 0-9]</span>, such as <span style="font-family: monospace;font-size:113%;">#1</span>, <span style="font-family: monospace;font-size:113%;">#a</span>, <span style="font-family: monospace;font-size:113%;">#a1</span>, <span style="font-family: monospace;font-size:113%;">#1a</span>, <span style="font-family: monospace;font-size:113%;">#SubQuestion01</span>, etc. Note that, although the designation of the part's text placeholders is quite flexible, a simple designation such as <span style="font-family: monospace;font-size:113%;">#1</span>, <span style="font-family: monospace;font-size:113%;">#2</span>, <span style="font-family: monospace;font-size:113%;">#3</span>, etc. is often sufficient.
At the point of insertion into the main question text, the placeholder name must be enclosed by curly braces <span style="font-family: monospace;font-size:113%;">{ }</span>. In the parts, the placeholder name is specified in the field called '''Placeholder name'''.
<div style="border:1px solid #bce8f1;border-radius:4px;padding: 0px 15px 0px; margin:20px 0 25px;">
<div style="font-family:Lucida Sans Unicode;font-size:113%;color:#6c336d;margin:10px 0 10px;> Example</div>
Use part's text placeholders in the main question to insert the text of three parts.
<pre style="font-size:113%;width: 98%;">
General
  Question name*      A formulas question with three parts and part's text placeholders
Main question
  Question text*      With part's text placeholders
                      Two subquestions on addition:
                      {#1a}
                      {#1b}
                      One subquestion on subtraction:
                      {#2}
Part 1
  Part's mark*        1
  Answer type          Number
  Answer*              7
  Grading criteria*    Absolute error == 0
  Placeholder name    #1a
  Part's text          What is 3 + 4?
Part 2
  Part's mark*        1
  Answer type          Number
  Answer*              9
  Grading criteria*    Absolute error == 0
  Placeholder name    #1b
  Part's text          What is 4 + 5?
Part 3
  Part's mark*        1

</pre>
The formulas question should look like this:

</div>
The same question can be obtained as follows. However, it is usually easier to use placeholders as above.
<pre style="font-size:113%;width: 98%;">
General
  Question name*      A formulas question with three parts and no part's text placeholders
Main question

                      Note: In general, it is more convenient to use placeholders as is done above.
Part 1
  Part's mark*        1
  Answer type          Number
  Answer*              7
  Grading criteria*    Absolute error == 0
  Placeholder name
