If I get your ideas right, then my proposed {% form %} and {% formblock %}
tag already supports what you suggested. I try to rewrite your example with
my proposed syntax:
{% formblock form1 using layout "uni_form" %}
{% form form1.field1 using widget template "x" and addclass "field1" %}
{% form form1 using fields "field3" "field2" %}
{% endformblock %}
The things that are different to your example are just some minor syntax
things. Additionally, the "rendering modifiers" (in this case "widget" and
"addclass") are not specified yet and I don't settled on a fixed set yet. I
would like to defer this until a later point because thats something that need
a broader discussion and IMO shouldn't take place in this thread, discussing
the more basic concerns regarding my proposal.
Or did I misunderstand what you tried to express? If thats the case, sorry for
that and please clarify that for me. I would appreciate your feedback.
(btw: a difference to your example is that I use the form tag to render forms
and single fields. I will include why I choose to do this in my response later
to Russell's post -- sorry I need to get offline but will respond again in the
next few hours)
