* **No content. **I tried it in your Admin Demo too, but adding anything (text
or html tags or smart tags) to the HTML element’s HTML box doesn’t do anything.
If you add an HTML element to a form and add anything to the “HTML” section,
it doesn’t show the actual content in the form itself. The only way to get content
is to add it to the “Description” down below which seems incorrect.
* 
* **Adding Tags to HTML**. The “Add tag to HTML” button below the HTML section
also doesn’t do anything. It doesn’t add anything to the text box. It does work,
sort of, in the “Description” section at the bottom.

* **On the Entries Screen. **One other weird thing I noticed. It seems like the
HTML field is getting reported _on _the “entries” screen as if they’re user input.
Where I’m using the HTML element for explanatory purposes, this is clogging up
the entries screen.
* Could we add some way to _exclude _it from those reporting functions?
