The documentation (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.1/topics/forms
/#reusable-form-templates) for reusable form templates results in a server
error.
1. You create the template file
2. You add and configure the CustomFormRenderer in settings.py
I've done both exactly as documented. I then used {{ form }} in a HTML
template and got the following error from Django:
{{{
TemplateDoesNotExist at /
django/forms/label.html
}}}
According to the docs though, "The example below will result in {{ form }}
being rendered as the output of the form_snippet.html template." I am not
sure which steps are missing from the documentation, but it seems that
''something's'' missing.
