XX. Generating HTML forms from models
This is mostly just a reworking of the ``form_for_model``/``form_for_instance``
tests to use ``ModelForm``. As such, the text may not make sense in all cases,
and the examples are probably a poor fit for the ``ModelForm`` syntax. In other
words, most of these tests should be rewritten.

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
familiar with the mechanics.

You can restrict a form to a subset of the complete list of fields
by providing a 'fields' argument. If you try to save a
model created with such a form, you need to ensure that the fields
that are _not_ on the form have default values, or are allowed to have
a value of None. If a field isn't specified on a form, the object created
from the form can't provide a value for that field!

Here, we define a custom ModelForm. Because it happens to have the same fields as
the Category model, we can just call the form's save() to apply its changes to an
existing Category instance.
>>> class ShortCategory(ModelForm):
... name = CharField(max_length=5)
... slug = CharField(max_length=5)
... url = CharField(max_length=3)

<Category: Third test>

3
>>> form = ShortCategory({'name': 'Third', 'slug': 'third', 'url': '3rd'}, instance=cat)
>>> form.save()
<Category: Third>
>>> Category.objects.get(id=3)
<Category: Third>
Here, we demonstrate that choices for a ForeignKey ChoiceField are determined
at runtime, based on the data in the database when the form is displayed, not
the data in the database when the form is instantiated.
