Just did. Works fine. Had to use the text mode editor though, and wrap
the desired text in triple curly braces. Formats selected in the GUI
editor are paragraph formats, not character formats. I could embed it
inline or between list elements.

It's very common in web editors - including things like WordPress -
that the author must resort to text mode for anything beyond the
basics.

Maybe try using something else to mark empty fields?

Didn't try this because I wasn't sure what you meant.

That didn't work for me either using the GUI editor. Using the text
mode editor I put a line like this in and it appears as a blank line
separating two paragraphs:

   . {{{ }}}

That's one or more spaces, a dot, a space, and a space between the
curly braces.
