The (contents) "text" between the two tags is the Design view symbol for an XML data placeholder.

The placeholder is filled with data when you switch to the IE Preview tab. The data is supplied by the XML file assigned to the currently visible schema visible in the tree view. Use the menu option File | Assign working XML file... to assign the XML file to the schema.

To (re) insert a placeholder:
1.Click between the two tags where you want to insert the placeholder.  
2.Click right (at the cursor position) to open the context menu, and select "Insert Contents".  
 
The placeholder is inserted at the cursor position.

To delete a placeholder:
1.Click the placeholder and press the keyboard Del. key.  
 
This deletes the placeholder in the Design tab, and causes the XML data to be suppressed in the IE Preview.
