forms – Handlers for custom form tags

Module provides a plugin to handle custom tags for html5 forms. Following is a table of token-specifiers that are common to all tags handled by this plugin, and augment the standard set of specifiers provided by tayra.tags.Tags base class.

token	Equivalent attribute pairs
on	autocomplete=”on”
off	autocomplete=”off”
autofocus	autofocus=”autofocus”
application/ x-www-form-urlencoded	enctype=”application/x-www-form-urlencoded”
multipart/form-data	enctype=”multipart/form-data”
text/plain	enctype=”text/plain”
get	formmethod=”get”
post	formmethod=”post”
novalidate	formnovalidate=”novalidate”
required	required=”required”
checked	checked=”checked”
hard	wrap=”hard”
soft	wrap=”soft”
[<item1>,<item2>]	list=”<item1>,<item2>”
<pattern> or %<pattern>%	pattern=”<pattern>”
h:<placeholder>	placeholder=”<placeholder>”
f:<formname>	form=”<formname>”
a:<formaction>	formaction=”<formaction>”
min < step < max	min=”<min>” step=”<step>” max=”<max>”
min < max	min=”<min>” max=”<max>”
<maxlength>:<size>	maxlength=”<maxength>” size=”<size>”
<width>,<height>	height=”<height>” width=”<width>”

• if placeholder string has several words seperated by white-space, replace spaces with + character. If help string is more complicated containing several special characters it is better to avoid h:... format and define them directly as an attribute.
• a quoted string is interpreted as value attribute and translated to value=<string>.
• If action-url contains white-spaces, replace them with + character.
