It allows commenting on the docs if logged in. I believe. But yes, it
should be hidden from the docs list. Gone now.

This is very old... But essentially you should be able to do something like:

[form name=myform]
[session some command]
[session more commands]
[form]

[link form=myform label="Click Here" linkpage=next.page]

And you will see the link "Click Here". When clicked the form will
submit and you will be forwarded to next.page.

Not tested, but looking at the code quickly, I think that's how it is
supposed to go.

Any life form on the docs area will get inactivated as soon as someone
edits the page or submits a comment. I'll just change to code boxes
then they can cut and paste on their own installation to see how it
works.

Same

This is still valid.

Same problem. Forms get deactivated whenever someone (but an
admin/editor) modifies the page. Essential security feature.

What's not clear? If some form aborts, you want to preserve the info
already entered, and not have to start over. That's all this is
saying...

Huh?  The following fields are required f1,f2. Not f3. That's the distinction.

Excellent point. I'm open to suggestions...

Actually no. It's also not the same as docs.forms.preserve. Rather, it
shows how to pre-select a value. Could be used to preserve values
somehow perhaps. Not sure.

Thanks for the help!
