Description
At https://github.com/DS4SD/docling-core/blob/f464be5521a92a21cb312b2d7f68489487b63b10/docling_core/types/doc/document.py#L2140
this value is set.
This value pops up as `DoclingDocument`'s `export_to_markdown()` return value in some cases. What's the benefit of this placeholder over the empty string? Using the empty string allows us to detect missing text in a standard (Pythonic) way, using truthiness or length.
