Increasing the power of the PlaceHolder

XaraDesignerPro6 is turning out to be a one stop shop for web developers. What would make it even more appealing would be to add to the unique Placeholder approach even more options such as a new tab with the ability to insert user customized css within the selected placeholder area that would be included in the final web export.

Loving this program

Already possible

On the subject of increasing placeholder power I was thinking a while back of another special name tag that might be useful - <body> - which would behave like <html> and <head> but used for placing code directly after the <body> tag. You could use it for example with the tracker code box to create divs that wrap all the content in the body. I can't remember what I was trying to do but I thought it would be useful at the time.

The ability to include text from a named text area could be useful. I find it difficult to edit code in that tiny box. I usually end up editing in a text area then copy/paste into the place holder.

Hang on, maybe text place holders could transfer themselves
