Re: Other potential problem with :format.

[Richard Stallman]

    ! An editable fields must be surrounded by static text on both sides, that
    ! is, text that does not change in the lifetime of the widget.  If the
    ! field extend to the end of the line, the terminating line-feed character
    ! will count as the necessary static text on that end.  You will have to
    ! provide the static text before the field yourself.  The @code{:format}
    ! keyword is useful for that, if you give it a value of e.g.  @code{"Name:
    ! %v"} the "Name: " part will count as the static text.

It would be clearer with this small rewrite.

Can you install it?
