+Creating custom fields
+----------------------
+
+If the built-in ``Field`` classes don't meet your needs, you can easily create
+custom ``Field`` classes. To do this, just create a subclass of
+``django.newforms.Field``. Its only requirements are that it implement a
+``clean()`` method and that its ``__init__()`` method accept the core arguments
+mentioned above (``required``, ``label``, ``initial``, ``widget``,
+``help_text``).
