+34. Generating HTML forms from models
+
+Django provides shortcuts for creating Form objects from a model class.
+
+The function django.newforms.form_for_model() takes a model class and returns
+a Form that is tied to the model. This Form works just like any other Form,
+with one additional method: create(). The create() method creates an instance
+of the model and returns that newly created instance. It saves the instance to
+the database if create(save=True), which is default. If you pass
+create(save=False), then you'll get the object without saving it.
