PP 'comment' field

A suggestiion that it might be useful to be able to add comments to the admin pages prepared for users to gude them about what they are expected to do with certain fields. These could be inserted into the HTML with something akin to:
<!-- publish type="comment" name="Comment / Help text to appear on edit form to be entered here" divider="y"--> <!--/publish-->
the divider= section would add a horizontal line after the text. THis woould make it useful as a section heading. If no text were entered the same tag would be useful to insert a plain horizontal rule.

Hi Aeon!
thanks for the great idea -- I'll definitely add that to the list.
In the meantime, you can currently add some descriptor text for your users in the "name" variable for each PML tag -- so, your tag could look like this:
<!-- publish type="text" name="Information about what to do with this field goes here" -->
I hope this helps. :)

I am using name= to provide limited instructions, but a comment tag would give much more flexibility. A further thought - an empty comment field with no properties should be the equivalent of <br> and create a line feed so one could add an extra separator line on a form.
