For an ad-hoc interface, I'd like to use labeled placeholder to help user entering text ... Unfortunately, even if the placeholder is in a text cell, what is typeset inside is interpreted as an expression, not as text ! To be precise, entering "a=b" in the placeholder of the following cell Cell[BoxData[ TagBox[ FrameBox["\<\"Enter equation here\"\>"], "Placeholder"]], "Text"] will create the cell below : Cell[BoxData[RowBox[{"a", "=", "b"}]], "Text"] when I'd like to get Cell["a=b", "Text"] Any idea ? Thanks, Yves
