It's not. :)
In this case, I'd suggest simply extending Zend_Form_Element, and then
overriding render() to simply return the element value:
class My_Form_Element_RawText extends Zend_Form_Element
{
public function render(Zend_View_Interface $view = null)
{
return $this->getValue();
}
}
And that way you can re-use it to enter arbitrary text anywhere:
$form->addElement('rawText', 'foo', array(
'value' => 'This is some text to insert somewhere...',
));
