With the key feature  PTC Placeholder PTC Placeholder you can set placeholders in your page that should or must replace in the copy process.

What is a Template marker?

The key different between a placeholder marker and a template marker is that a template marker is just in the front of the template page title. This provides to identify a template pages. When you copy the page or even the page tree this template marker will be removed after the instantiation of the page.
