# msm:placeholder

> Placeholder markup (commonly used with lazy rendering)

`<msm:placeholder>` defines placeholder HTML that can be shown before a lazily-rendered fragment/block is ready.

## Typical pattern

```html theme={null}
<msm:fragment id="block" path="main/fragments/some-block.html" data-lazy-render="true">
  <msm:placeholder>
    <div class="skeleton">Loading…</div>
  </msm:placeholder>
</msm:fragment>
```
