Reusable form templates
-----------------------
If your site uses the same rendering logic for forms in multiple places you
can create a template that contains just the form loop and use the
:ttag:`include` tag to reuse it in your other templates::
<form action="/contact/" method="POST">
{% include "form_snippet.html" %}
<p><input type="submit" value="Send message"></p>
</form>
# In form_snippet.html:
{% for field in form %}
<div class="fieldWrapper">
{{ field.errors }}
{{ field.label_tag }}: {{ field }}
</div>
{% endfor %}
If the form object passed to a template has a different name within the
context you can alias it using the :ttag:`with` tag::
<form action="/comments/add/" method="POST">
{% with comment_form as form %}
{% include "form_snippet.html" %}
{% endwith %}
<p><input type="submit" value="Submit comment"></p>
</form>
