Label is correct. It's exactly what you are looking for functionally.

Subject: Re: Long content
Ah, thanks for the suggestion Vasu.
I looked at this component and don't think I'm looking to have '\n' replaced
or <br/>'s and <p/>'s automatically generated.
In my case, most cases, "Post" content might include some paragraphs,
blockquotes, pictures and a few more paragraphs. After a blog entry, there
might be a few comments - maybe someone will post some code examples ... so
Post.content and Post.comments[n] might just be somewhat long
strings/database fields.
For what it's worth, *Label* works just fine in my little mock up - but
again, Post.content doesn't really *feel* like a Label so it gave me room
for pause.
Thanks for the quick response Vasu.
