Now that we have our containing box set up, we create the actual text element
that is going to function as our label. The label is created with a
-call to <function>ewl_text_new()</function> specifying the text
-we wish to display. Once the widget is created we attach it to the box
+call to <function>ewl_text_new()</function> in this case, we pass NULL as the value
+because we will be specifying our text after we attach some styling to the object.
+You can also pass a text string into <function>ewl_text_new()</function> if desired.
+Just keep in mind that text styling happens for text that is added
<emphasis>after</emphasis>
+the styling is attached.

+Once the widget is created we attach it to the box
with <function>ewl_container_append_child()</function>. Next we set
the alignment on the text object though
<function>ewl_object_set_alignment()</function>.
This specifies how the contents will be aligned within the widget itself.
