		CKEditor Sample &mdash; Using the Placeholder Plugin
	</h1>
	<div class="description">
	<p>
		This sample shows how to configure CKEditor instances to use the
		<strong>Placeholder</strong> plugin that lets you insert read-only elements
		into your content. To enter and modify read-only text, use the
		<strong>Create Placeholder</strong> button and its matching dialog window.
	</p>
	<p>
		To add a CKEditor instance that uses the <code>placeholder</code> plugin and a related
		<strong>Create Placeholder</strong> toolbar button, insert the following JavaScript
		call to your code:
	</p>
	<pre class="samples">CKEDITOR.replace( '<em>textarea_id</em>',
	{
		<strong>extraPlugins : 'placeholder',</strong>
		toolbar : [ [ 'Source', 'Bold' ], [<strong>'CreatePlaceholder'</strong>] ]
	});</pre>
	<p>
		Note that <code><em>textarea_id</em></code> in the code above is the <code>id</code> attribute of
		the <code>&lt;textarea&gt;</code> element to be replaced with CKEditor.
	</p>
	</div>
	<!-- This <div> holds alert messages to be display in the sample page. -->
	<div id="alerts">
		<noscript>
			<p>
				<strong>CKEditor requires JavaScript to run</strong>. In a browser with no JavaScript
				support, like yours, you should still see the contents (HTML data) and you should
				be able to edit it normally, without a rich editor interface.
			</p>
		</noscript>

	<form action="sample_posteddata.php" method="post">

			<label for="editor1">
				CKEditor using the <code>placeholder</code> plugin with its default configuration:</label>
			<textarea cols="80" id="editor1" name="editor1" rows="10">&lt;p&gt;This is a [[sample placeholder]]. You are using &lt;a href="http://ckeditor.com/"&gt;CKEditor&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;</textarea>
