The http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki/Cookbook/WikiForms
is now pretty stable.

The latest version includes:
- automatic next and previous page links

- control over field sizes

- support for multiple (:wikilist:) directives with different
  columns displayed

- automatic View Form link on the template page

- various bug and mis-feature fixes

Still to do:
- default style sheet for a form-driven group

- possibly voting, money and other calculations, if I can
  think of a simple way to do them

It's suitable when you need more than a custom
$DefaultPageTextFmt, less than the riches of the FGS.

The wiki pages created via this method use only standard
wiki markup, which is both a strength and a weakness. If
and when pmwiki introduces a <div id=...> markup, various
new things will become possible.

There is an example of it in use at
http://intranet.affinity.co.nz/pmwiki2/index.php?n=Issues.Issues

Comments and suggestions welcome.
