Hi Yaron,

Thanks for coming back to me on this.

I have the Form:F:

{{{for template|X...}}}
some stuff
{{{end template}}}

{|
|'''Other content for this article'''
|-
|{{{standard input|free text}}}
|}

{{{for template|Y...}}}
some stuff
{{{end template}}}

The Template:X which generates the html is like this:

<div class="MainInfobox">
...asserts all the semantics etc in the form...
</div>

On the form I enter this text into free text:

'My other thoughts are [[Top tip::Eat well and sleep well]]'

In the actual HTML of the generated page I get this :

<p><br />
My other thoughts are Eat well and sleep well
</p><p><br />
</p>

<div class="MainInfobox" style="margin-bottom:3px;">...</div>


How does the free text know where to go? I thought it might end up floating
about under the div but before the contents of Template:Y are generated.
Have I missed a way to say where it should be as with an ordinary field? I
now realize I don't understand the purpose of free text - couldn't I just
use a {{{field...|input type=textarea}}} ? Sorry for this basic question but
I  need to be sure I have the 'free text' facility correctly available on a
site which has become(for good reason!) very forms driven.

                              Thanks
                                              Alex
