helper.showFieldRequired(fieldName [, requiredMarker ] [, titleText])

Displays the "required" markup of a field.

This function can also set the marker used by the field and change the title used in the field's markup. The title is often used to style the marker (for example, our standard themes look for <em title="required"></em> to colour the marker red).

Note that this function does not change the field's validation or required state, it only displays a marker next to the label. You will need to write an accompanying validation function to change the field's requiredness.
