Read the documentation on readthedocs
1: Better form html by default
The form html that Django produces is not very nice or useful. For example, the default output of a Django form is a table.
Just mixin PonyFormMixin to produce better html:
class ExampleForm(PonyFormMixin, forms.Form): name = forms.CharField()
This produces the following html:
<div class="form-row row-name"> <label for="id_name">Name</label> <input type="text" id="id_name" name="name" /> </div>
2: Write your own form templates
You can also write your own form templates:
class ExampleForm(PonyFormMixin, forms.Form): name = forms.CharField() form_template = 'my_form.html' row_template = 'my_row.html'
my_form.html:
<div class="my_form"> {{ hidden_fields }} {{ top_errors }} {{ rows }} </div>
