Glad to hear it worked for you.

Check out the project from the SF cvs[1] and see the README file for the
section called Contributing (near the end of the file). Let me know if
you have any questions.

We could probably hack that into a modifier that accepts no arguments
(if Petal doesn't balk), but I'm not sure where the info would be coming
from to populate the pre tag. I use something similar in my applications
but set the errror key explicitly when my method fails. Please try to
explain in more detail.
