Hmm, it appears you're right. I mistakenly though that {{ form }} would
result in something similar to {{ form.as_p }}. I haven't rendered a {{
form }} without crispy-forms in quite a while.
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/forms/api/#outputting-forms-as-html
Also tested myself quickly on a current project and verified the same.
In that case, both of those formats are valid and effectively equivalent.
My original assertion about there being no "correct" format still stands,
since that is based on your template design. Adding the <table> tags will
place the form inside of a true HTML table. That may or may not be what you
want. You may want to be more semantic if using a table and use <table>{{
form.as_table }}</table> just to make it clear that the variable is being
rendered as a table, rather than relying on a default output format. That's
personal preference, though, but it is slightly safer if the default format
for {{ form }} ever changed, which I doubt will be the case any time soon.
Apologies for not checking myself before sending out the response.
