After pressing the button , the first word is selected starting from the cursor backwards. This will then be replaced by a text module, if one exists. Placeholders can be inserted in the individual text modules (LibreOffice→Insert menu→Field commands→Other→Functions tab →Field type "Placeholder"→Format "Text"). After inserting the text modules, the cursor is positioned on the first inserted placeholder. The text module can also be used to specify parameters that are automatically entered in free placeholders e.g. <Name of text module><SEPARATOR><Insert text><SEPARATOR><Insert text>.
For text modules to be inserted via the button, they must be included via the WollMux configuration. The text module name that is then called is also configured in the WollMux configuration. The Insert text module command can also be assigned to a Key shortcut via the WollMux configuration.
