+# Placeholders
+
+Placeholders are used to insert additional content or variables in the document.
+The syntax for placeholders is:
+
+```
+[[PLACEHOLDER]]
+
+# Example
+[[date]]
+```
+
+The most commonly used placeholders are:
+
+
+| Placeholder                   | Meaning                                               |
+| ----------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
+| `[[TOC]][ordered=true/false]` | Inserts the table of contents at the current position |
+| `[[BIB]]`                     | Inserts the bibliography list at the current position |
+| `[[GLS]]`                     | Inserts the glossary list at the current position     |
+| `[[date]]`                    | Inserts the current date                              |
+| `[[time]]`                    | Inserts the current time                              |
+| `[[datetime]]`                | Inserts the current date and time                     |
+| `[[author]]`                  | Inserts the author of the document                    |
+| `[[title]]`                   | Inserts the title of the document                     |
+ 
+
+Additionally all entries defined in the `custom_attributes` section of the configuration
+can be inserted as placeholders.
