Actually, you *can* add additional decorators of the same class using
aliasing. Try this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configdata>
<element>
<decorators>
<viewHelper>
<type>ViewHelper</type>
</viewHelper>
<label>
<type>Label</type>
</label>
<div>
<type>
<div>HtmlTag</div>
</type>
<options>
<tag>div</tag>
<class>input_password</class>
</options>
</div>
<p>
<type>
<p>HtmlTag</p>
</type>
<options>
<tag>p</tag>
</options>
</p>
</decorators>
</element>
</configdata>
The relevant parts are the <div> and <p> decorators -- notice that the
type in each is an array consisting of a single key/value pair -- the
key is the internal alias by which you'll refer to it, and the value is
the actual decorator type.
That said, you probably want to use the element description for setting
that particular content, and then add a 'Description' decorator to your
decorator stack.
