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

+If you call save() with commit=False, then it will return an object that

+ManyToManyFields are represented by a MultipleChoiceField, and ForeignKeys are

+You can pass a custom Form class to form_for_model. Make sure it's a
+subclass of BaseForm, not Form.

+>>> f = CategoryForm()
+>>> f.say_hello()
+hello
+
+Use form_for_instance to create a Form from a model instance. The difference
+between this Form and one created via form_for_model is that the object's
+current values are inserted as 'initial' data in each Field.

+
+Here, we define a custom Form. Because it happens to have the same fields as
+the Category model, we can use save_instance() to apply its changes to an
+existing Category instance.

+...     url = CharField(max_length=3)
