Hi Yury,
Well, each form input's own file (contained in /includes/forminputs)
contains a getHTML() method, which in turn has a $cur_value parameter that
holds the current value. All those getHTML() methods are called from
SFFormPrinter::formHTML(), a monstrously large method that's really the
heart of Semantic Forms. Look for the variables $cur_value and
$cur_value_in_template in that function.
