I generally use the phrase "placeholder" when discussing autonumbering, and
it's not a new feature.

They are used when multiple autonumbers exist in a string.

Example:
You have a TableTitle paragraph format that displays as Table 4-2.
It uses the following autonumber string: Table <$chapnum>-< ><n+>

In the example, the < > is the placeholder, which might represent the
autonumber value of figures. Since you want to leave the figure value
unchanged, you must tell FM to ignore it. The common description for that <
> is "placeholder".

The FrameMaker 9.0 User Guide refers to auto-numbering building blocks
as "counters." It's been the term used going back many FrameMaker
releases.
