Hello Etienne,

In my opinion not much, everybody else seems to be into it but I found
it a bit cumbersome, I use the widgets but ditched the form as I like
to incorporate more than one form into a page.  I don't know if form2
makes this easier but form seemed to make this just a bit too hard so
I ditched it.

I'll often do something like

"""Customer Name: %(CustName)s

Phone No: %(PhoneNo)s
""" % { 'CustName' : self.CustName.render(
request ),
'PhoneNo' : self.PhoneNo.render( request ) }

and then to get the stuff out I just call

if request.form :
   self.CustName.parse( request )
   etc...

This puts my insertion and extraction code right were I want it which
is in the page building method not in yet another class.

How do you do it?
