 The default field types, as described in the `Field types`_ table above, are
 sensible defaults. If you have a ``DateField`` in your model, chances are you'd
 want that to be represented as a ``DateField`` in your form. But

+``ModelForm`` gives you the flexibility of changing the form field type and 
+widget for a given model field.
+
+To specify a custom widget for a field, use the ``widgets`` attribute of the
+inner ``Meta`` class. This should be a dictionary mapping field names to widget
+classes or instances.
+
+For example, if you want the a ``CharField`` to be represented by a
+``<textarea>`` instead of its default ``<input type="text">``, you can override
+the field's widget::
+
+    class AuthorForm(ModelForm):
+        class Meta:
+            model = Author
+            fields = ['name', 'title', 'birth_date']
+            widgets = {
+                'name': Textarea(attrs={'cols': 80, 'rows': 20}),
+            }
+
+The ``widgets`` dictionary accepts either widget instances (e.g.,
+``Textarea(...)``) or classes (e.g., ``Textarea``).

+If you want to further customize a field -- including its type, label, etc. --
+you can do this by declaratively specifying fields like you would in a regular
+``Form``. Declared fields will override the default ones generated by using the
+``model`` attribute.
 
 For example, if you wanted to use ``MyDateFormField`` for the ``pub_date``
 field, you could do the following::
 
-    >>> class ArticleForm(ModelForm):
-    ...     pub_date = MyDateFormField()
-    ...

 Don't allow more than one 'model' definition in the inheritance hierarchy.
 Technically, it would generate a valid form, but the fact that the resulting
 save method won't deal with multiple objects is likely to trip up people not
