FloatField is not described in newforms documentation

[George Vilches]

FloatField has no additional attributes over a base field. The changes described in the development version of the docs that it's changed from the past is because those attributes are now available on DecimalField and have been removed from FloatField. The documentation for FloatField is now equivalent to the IntegerField, and this is appropriate, as there are no extra attributes to describe.

Recommending this for closing.

You still need to indicate the presence of it in some way. forms.FloatField is necessary for those of us using models.FloatField, and no where is that indicated in the newforms documentation.

[George Vilches]

So your problem is not that "FloatField is not described in the model reference", because it is, here: ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/model-api/#floatfield

Your problem is that FloatField is not described in the newforms documentation, here: ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/newforms/

I have updated the title of this ticket to reflect that, and I have also attached a documentation patch for newforms for FloatField. If I have misunderstood you, please clarify.

Patch against r7520 to provide FloatField documentation for newforms.

[Tobias McNulty]

That's correct. Sorry for the confusion and thanks for catching me.
