Wontfix -- let's cap the default form output to the three choices we already have.

Has patch: set

is there some particular point in this being closed again? using dl in for list is becoming common practice and gives great possibilities for quickly styling forms in a clean way without having to write html code (plus it looks good from the beginning).

it has been mentioned that the as_ functions are heavily used as shortcuts and that django should handle common cases; i guess this is one!

as of how to handle the error_row, i suggest using u'<dd>%s</dd>') -- it's not perfectly clean from a semantic point of view, but the best we can get in current (x)html.

Please don't reopen tickets that have been wontfixed by a core maintainer. Read the contributing doc for how to take this further. However, since you can easily write your own method, this is really a non-issue, so don't expect too much action.

I don't understand how anyone can think form.as_p() or form.as_ul() is in any way a better use case than form.as_dl(). The patch is right there, ready to be reviewed.

I'm new to Django, this is one of the things I want to do. Formatting a form using dl is the way to go. See the Twitter Bootstrap for example.

Note: See TracTickets for help on using tickets.
