Insert HTML within a form.

I am curious to know if there is a way to insert some HTML between elements when using forms created with the XoopsForm class.

I'm working on a pretty long form, and I would find it useful to be able to insert a horizontal rule and some text describing the section of the form. I could do the form as part of a smarty template, but I'd rather use the class for the time being.

I'm thinking something like:
$html = "

This is a different part of the form.

";
$form->addElement(new XoopsFormHTML($html));


Ideas?

you can always use the

XoopsFormLabel($caption="", $value="")

With this you can print text only :)

XoopsFormLabel is not always optimal, because it uses two cells in the table row. If you want to have a table row with only one cell use:
$form->insertBreak('

This is a different part of the form.

', 'nameofcssclassifyoulike');

insertBreak was exactly what I was looking for!

However, I'm going to write down both methods in my notebook on forms. :) Thanks to both of you for your assistance!
