Implementation of hook_form().

Now it's time to describe the form for collecting the information specific to this node type. This hook requires us to return an array with a sub array containing information for each element in the form.

<?php
function node_example_form(&$node, $form_state) {

  // the fields should be labeled. We need to load these settings so we can
  // build the node form correctly.

    // properly.
