Dimension property: text is also supported #99

Although it may not be a good practice, LibreCAD supports dimension editing to add text in place of dimenion. For example, if one needs to show the actual stroke of a lever then instead of showing "100 mm" one can show "Lever stroke: 100 mm" in the dimension text.

It seems, that using <> as placeholder in dimension text is also not documented yet. See https://forum.librecad.org/displaying-an-original-dimension-plus-an-additional-text-tp5721869.html
