 Editable text fields are created by the @code{editable-field} widget.
 
-An editable field must be surrounded by static text on both sides, that

-field extends to the end of the line, the terminating line-feed character
-will count as the necessary static text on that end, but you will have
-to provide the static text before the field yourself.  The
-@code{:format} keyword is useful for generating the static text; for
-instance, if you give it a value of @code{"Name: %v"}, the "Name: " part
-will count as the static text.
+@strong{Warning:} In an @code{editable-field} widget, the editable
+field must not be adjacent to another widget---that won't work.
+You must put some text in between.  Either make this text part of

 The editing text fields are highlighted with the
