Get the most out of Drupal webform module

Today I was looking for a way to customise the confirmation e-mail sent by the webform module. It appears that it's possible to customise this mail per form. By looking a bit further I discovered a file I had overlooked all of the time. This little file is called THEMING.txt and it delivers what is promised: it shows you how to customise all things Webform.

What will you discover there?

  • Theme submission emails
  • Theme the confirmation page
  • Theme display of an entire webform

Great! This teaches you how to customise the 3 parts in a webform subimission process: form display, confirmation screen and confirmation e-mail.

Go ahead and read it here: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/webform/THE...

"Open up your new file and customize the webform however you like."

... and then a miracle occurs?

Sorry, I don't get it.

For instance, how would you make some description appear above a field instead of below?
And how would you place text which isn't connected to a particular webform component, e.g., "blah blah in the following section" - I don't mean the title, but say halfway through the form?

webform-form.tpl.php is pretty cryptic.

thanks for any advice.
