Use placeholder syntax

Text additions are embedded in the HTML content using a special HTML attribute format.

Placeholders have the following restrictions:

• Text additions are stored as HTML elements with the text-addition-label attribute in the background.
• The label value in the HTML must match a text addition record's Label field.
• Text additions are displayed with their formatted content when viewing in the Rich Text Editor.
• Modifying text addition content requires editing the text addition record itself, not the placeholder in the long text.
