// Create a custom element with a variable name and ID of 'testElement'
$samson->addElement(new Element\Element('div', '<p>Here is a nice div.</p>', array('id' => 'testElement', 'class' => 'full-span')));
// Create a form with an input field, select field, textarea and button
$form = $samson->form(array('action' => '', 'method' => 'POST'))
->input(array('type' => 'text', 'id' => 'username', 'name' => 'username'))

$samson->addTemplate(new Template('user.tpl', ['username' => 'Nick Tucci', 'password' => 'password', 'form' => $form]));
