Description

This method provides the ability to programmatically control the element that Editor will use to display its main form (see template).

Please note that if you overwrite an existing template node and want to be able to use it again in future, you will need to use this function as a getter initially to store it in a variable that can be reused when required. Without doing this, or inserting the element back into the document, it would be garbage collected by the browser.
