Way to make an empty field front-end editable

[Guy Incognito 32]

Pretty much as the title - does anyone have a snazzy way to make a field that doesn't yet have any content front-end editable? Currently, the field cannot be double-clicked if empty but I would like to give users the ability to add missing content to a few specific fields.

What if you just output placeholder text? (I'd guess you'd have to use <edit> tags)

$page->text ? $page->text : "Input text here.."

Perfect thanks - so simple!... I had tried basically every combo of conditionals and was beginning to think it wouldn't work!

@Guy Incognito Also consider to use $page->if() method. https://processwire.com/api/ref/page/if/

Fully didn’t know about this method - really useful thanks.
