hi,

I am finally able to stick pretty templates into an ActionMenu:

D1=HoldForm[Style[Plot,15][Placeholder[Style["f",12]],{Placeholder
[Style["x",12]],Placeholder[Style["Subscript[min, y]",12]],Placeholder
[Style["Subscript[max, x]",12]]}]];

ActionMenu[
 "test",
 {
  D1 :> NotebookApply[InputNotebook[], D1 // ToBoxes]
  }
 ]

I need the style to enlarge the font size but I would like to do it
smarter. Everything I try gets hung up on the Defer. I am looking to
make something like this:

stylPl[a]=Placeholder[Style[a,12]

so I can change the size for all placeholders with one function/rule
call.

Thanks,
Andrew
