			The <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>form</strong></span></span> package is a utility for generating html forms. A <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>form</strong></span></span>
			object command saves the programmer from typing the cumbersome html code of input elements, 
			working out a solution for better standardization and readability of the code. 
			<span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>form</strong></span></span> requires that only the minimum necessary to distinguish the element is
			typed, greatly simplyfing the development of forms.
			Options to the command are treated as a list of parameter-value pairs that become the defaults
			for the corresponding attributes of the form.
		</p><p style="width:90%">
			A <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>form</strong></span></span> object has specialized menthods to generate all of the standard 
			input fields, i.e. text, password, hidden, generic button, submit or reset buttons and
			image. <span style="font-family:monospace"><span class="command"><strong>form</strong></span></span> creates select input fields, radiobutton and checkbox
			boolean options groups. Also new inputs introduced with HTML5 are supported: color, date, 
			datetime, datetime-local, email, file, month, number, range, search, tel, time, url, week.
		</p><p style="width:90%">
			Other input elements can be generated using the general purpose 'field' method.
