+Customizing a formset's prefix
+==============================
+
+In the rendered HTML, formsets include a prefix on each field's name. By
+default, the prefix is ``'form'``, but it can be customized using the formset's
+``prefix`` argument.
+
+For example, in the default case, you might see:
+
+.. code-block:: html
+
+    <label for="id_form-0-title">Title:</label>
+    <input type="text" name="form-0-title" id="id_form-0-title" />
+
+But with ``ArticleFormset(prefix='article')`` that becomes:
+
+.. code-block:: html
+
+    <label for="id_article-0-title">Title:</label>
+    <input type="text" name="article-0-title" id="id_article-0-title" />
