Ok - but is there a way for me to css position it explicitly eg a {{{free
text}}} param to refer to? Otherwise it seems like I am leaving a lot to
chance for a very important part of the article content. Users are really
enthusiastic about Semantic forms and all it brings them - but also don't
want to sacrifice the freedom to add their own non prescriptive content.
Many thanks,
Alex
