WikiForm
[{FormOpen}] add your own wiki text in here
[{FormInput name="test"}]
[{Form element='submit' name='x' value='Update'}]
[{FormClose}]
web2py custom form (assuming a form object passed from the action):
{{=form.custom.begin}} add your own html text in here
{{=form.custom.widget.test}}
{{=form.custom.submit}}
{{=form.custom.end}}
To me they look the same with the exception that web2py needs the
preexisting "form" object to handle the form processing.
WikiForms do not deal with processing.
