Comment:
I did not mean to imply that the feature *should* have been in Django
1.2.5; the main points are: the 1.3 release notes do not mention the
change; and, the doc currently on the site is, I'm afraid, wrong regarding
help_text rendering.
The doc shows the f.as_table() printing help_text this way:
{{{
<br />A valid email address, please.
}}}
See
http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/docs/ref/forms/fields.txt#L217.
However, the source code from 1.3 clearly shows the <span> wrapper -- see
http://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tags/releases/1.3/django/forms/forms.py#L216
-- and the documentation was fixed in r15396. I don't know how these
changes get applied to the live site, I'm just trying to help out here.
(I originally referred specifically to *model* forms, but both Form and
ModelForm classes inherit the behavior from BaseForm.)
