+Android Studio supports syntax highlighting of data binding expressions, and flags any expression
+language syntax errors in the editor.
+</p>
+<p>
+The Preview pane displays default values for data binding expressions if provided. In the following
+example excerpt of an element from a layout XML file, the Preview pane displays the
+{@code PLACEHOLDER} default text value in the <code>TextView</code>.

+<p>
+If you need to display a default value during the design phase of your project, you
+can also use tools attributes instead of default expression values, as described in
