I really think it should. The methods defined in the form are some
default, that can be used if appropriate. If not newforms is usable in
any way you want. You can use all the flexibility Python and newforms
provides here:
I use this (colon-free) code for form-display:
(put into a separate file that is included in the templates)
-----------8<--------------------------------------------------------
{% for field in form %}
<div>
<label><span>{{ field.label|escape }}</span> {{ field }}</label>
{% if field.errors %}<div class="error">{{ field.errors|join:",
"|escape }}</div>{% endif %}
</div>
{% endfor %}
-------------------------------------------------------->8-----------
(<label> includes field to get it working in the IE, <div> for
linebreaks, that even work in text-browsers and because normal lines
cannot be styled using CSS)
You could even write your own Form-class (extending newforms.Form), that
outputs other things (e.g. by just adding an as_my_style()-method and
using this as default). If you really want to change many thing you can
create your own forms-module (importing newforms.* and overwriting
things you need to change). I use this way to have an drop-in
replacement for the forms without forking the main-code. I changed the
date-fields to accept german notation for example. The big advantage
here is that forms.DateField can be used, so nothing needs to be changed
(except for the input-statement).
Perhaps the colon can be moved into the display-methods (as_p, as_ul,
...) or an parameter/attribute could be added to the form, but as most
people use forms with colons and newforms provides anything you need to
display something different I think this should stay default.
