Description

Our main "introduction to forms" documentation is https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/

It lacks sufficient basic explanation of web form handling in general to be useful to someone who is tackling this for the first time.

It also contains some sections that mention, but offer no explanation of, matters that don't need to be in an introductory document.

It also interrupts its own basic explanations with unnecessary reference to much more advanced concepts.
