 would make this better. Seems we will have to add/show a label on the
 title field too in this case.

 option that might have been discussed is to wrap the format related fields
 in a box of their own, making the title text box to stand out as something
 that do not belong to it.
 Placeholders pose a very big problem to any interface. Placeholder text
 disappears the moment I start typing in the box. And if someone spaces out
 that time, which happens quite often with a lot of people, they won't know
 what they were doing. Instead, a combination of label and placeholder will
 be great as the placeholder text can server as a help text and the label
 will be there throughout.
