I am totally confused as to what your goal is? Is it to put the form into a
template file (a .html) file? Is it to control the rendering of the form
elements? Is it something else?
In terms of ProtoUser, that class is meant as a quick bootstrap to getting
your project going. It lends itself nicely to adding fields. Any styling
needs to be done via CSS. If you need something more complex (like ESME
does), you can pull the code into your User class and then work to achieve
the particular goal. If we can cycle a bit on what your particular goal is,
I'm sure we can get you there.
