field.auto_id not mentioned

[hemebond@…]

The documentation doesn't mention that a form field has an auto_id attribute and instead has examples showing manually entered values on HTML label "for" attributes. The values shown will be invalid if a prefix is passed to the form.

The examples should use e.g., "{{ field.auto_id }}", instead of manual values for the "for" attributes on HTML label elements.

auto_id is documented here: ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/forms/api/

I'm not saying that the documentation can't be improved (it nearly always can), but you need to provide more specific examples to do so. Please reopen this ticket if you can provide such examples (or even better, provide a patch).

Ah, my apologies. When I raised the ticket I didn't think to check that the page I came from was included. I was referring to the examples on ​https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/#customizing-the-form-template.
