[Plugin: Boilerplate] how to use?

just downloaded and then visited the documentation site.
http://boilerplate.dcoda.co.uk/help/getting-started/

There is nothing in the shortcode field, so how is this plugin used? (I examined the html source — it is a < pre > field with nothing in it.)

<em>  <strong> Shortcode </strong>  </em> </p>
<pre style="border: 1px dotted black; padding: 5px; background-color: #ffffff;">  </pre>
