 Selector and checkbox widgets
 -----------------------------
 
+These widgets make use of the HTML elements ``<select>``,
+``<input type='checkbox'>``, and ``<input type='radio'>``.
+
+Widgets that render multiple choices have an ``option_template_name`` attribute
+that specifies the template used to render each choice. For example, for the
+:class:`Select` widget, ``select_option.html`` renders the ``<option>`` for a
+``<select>``.
