+
+Produces a standalone `<label />` element which can be inserted into a form and be associated with a field
+in that form using the {@link #forId} property.
+
+**NOTE:** in most cases it will be more appropriate to use the {@link Ext.form.Labelable#fieldLabel fieldLabel}
+and associated config properties ({@link Ext.form.Labelable#labelAlign}, {@link Ext.form.Labelable#labelWidth},
+etc.) in field components themselves, as that allows labels to be uniformly sized throughout the form.
+Ext.form.Label should only be used when your layout can not be achieved with the standard
+{@link Ext.form.Labelable field layout}.
+
+You will likely be associating the label with a field component that extends {@link Ext.form.field.Base}, so
+you should make sure the {@link #forId} is set to the same value as the {@link Ext.form.field.Base#inputId inputId}
+of that field.
+
+The label's text can be set using either the {@link #text} or {@link #html} configuration properties; the
+difference between the two is that the former will automatically escape HTML characters when rendering, while
+the latter will not.
+{@img Ext.form.Label/Ext.form.Label.png Ext.form.Label component}
+#Example usage:#
+
+This example creates a Label after its associated Text field, an arrangement that cannot currently
+be achieved using the standard Field layout's labelAlign.
+
+ Ext.create('Ext.form.Panel', {
+ title: 'Field with Label',
+ width: 400,
+ bodyPadding: 10,
+ renderTo: Ext.getBody(),
+ layout: {
+ type: 'hbox',
+ align: 'middle'
+ },
+ items: [{
+ xtype: 'textfield',
+ hideLabel: true,
+ flex: 1
+ }, {
+ xtype: 'label',
+ forId: 'myFieldId',
+ text: 'My Awesome Field',
+ margins: '0 0 0 10'
+ }]
+ });
