Yep, forms the base for what I needed.
made a small patch to extend it a bit, the patch includes some doc
updates as well.
This allows for:
{{extend 'layout.html'}}
Registration form
{{lbl=form.custom.label}}
{{wid=form.custom.widget}}
{{=form.custom.form.start}}
<table>
<tbody>
{{for f in form.fields:}}
{{if step==1:}}<tr>{{pass}}
<td>{{=f}}</td>
<td>{{=lbl[f]}}</td>
<td>{{=wid[f]}}</td>
{{step=step+1}}
{{if step==2:}}</tr>{{step=1}}{{pass}}
{{pass}}
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
{{=form.custom.submit}}
{{=form.hidden_fields()}}
{{=form.custom.form.close}}
I've not yet managed to get {{=form.hidden_fields()}} in to
{{=form.custom.form.close}}
