I'm not sure to have understood what you exactly want to do.
* Using text *variables* (in XML parlance: references to internal or
external text entities) is not possible.
* Defining named element templates is possible. These element templates
often contain *placeholder* text.
In order to use element templates, you define to define them in the XXE
configuration associated to your document type.
DocBook example, if you add this to
XXE_install_directory/config/docbook/docbook.xxe:
---
<elementTemplate name="placeholder" selectable="override">
<address xmlns=""><firstname>Type first name here.</firstname>
<surname>Type last name here.</surname>
Type street, zip, city, country here.</address>
</elementTemplate>
---
will cause XXE to always (because selectable="override") insert an
address element containing placeholder text.
