David Smith f81e6e3a53 Refs #36485 -- Rewrapped docs to 79 columns line length.
Lines in the docs files were manually adjusted to conform to the
79 columns limit per line (plus newline), improving readability and
consistency across the content.

Model Form Functions
====================
Model Form API reference. For introductory material about model forms, see the
:doc:`/topics/forms/modelforms` topic guide.
.. module:: django.forms.models
:synopsis: Django's functions for building model forms and formsets.
``modelform_factory``
=====================
.. function:: modelform_factory(model, form=ModelForm, fields=None, exclude=None, formfield_callback=None, widgets=None, localized_fields=None, labels=None, help_texts=None, error_messages=None, field_classes=None)
Returns a :class:`~django.forms.ModelForm` class for the given ``model``.
You can optionally pass a ``form`` argument to use as a starting point for
constructing the ``ModelForm``.
``fields`` is an optional list of field names. If provided, only the named
fields will be included in the returned fields.
``exclude`` is an optional list of field names. If provided, the named
fields will be excluded from the returned fields, even if they are listed
in the ``fields`` argument.
``formfield_callback`` is a callable that takes a model field and returns
a form field.
``widgets`` is a dictionary of model field names mapped to a widget.
``localized_fields`` is a list of names of fields which should be
localized.
``labels`` is a dictionary of model field names mapped to a label.
``help_texts`` is a dictionary of model field names mapped to a help text.
``error_messages`` is a dictionary of model field names mapped to a
dictionary of error messages.
``field_classes`` is a dictionary of model field names mapped to a form
field class.
See :ref:`modelforms-factory` for example usage.
You must provide the list of fields explicitly, either via keyword
arguments ``fields`` or ``exclude``, or the corresponding attributes on the
form's inner ``Meta`` class. See :ref:`modelforms-selecting-fields` for
more information. Omitting any definition of the fields to use will result
in an :exc:`~django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured` exception.
``modelformset_factory``
========================
.. function:: modelformset_factory(model, form=ModelForm, formfield_callback=None, formset=BaseModelFormSet, extra=1, can_delete=False, can_order=False, max_num=None, fields=None, exclude=None, widgets=None, validate_max=False, localized_fields=None, labels=None, help_texts=None, error_messages=None, min_num=None, validate_min=False, field_classes=None, absolute_max=None, can_delete_extra=True, renderer=None, edit_only=False)
Returns a ``FormSet`` class for the given ``model`` class.
Arguments ``model``, ``form``, ``fields``, ``exclude``,
``formfield_callback``, ``widgets``, ``localized_fields``, ``labels``,
``help_texts``, ``error_messages``, and ``field_classes`` are all passed
through to :func:`~django.forms.models.modelform_factory`.
Arguments ``formset``, ``extra``, ``can_delete``, ``can_order``,
``max_num``, ``validate_max``, ``min_num``, ``validate_min``,
``absolute_max``, ``can_delete_extra``, and ``renderer`` are passed
through to :func:`~django.forms.formsets.formset_factory`. See
:doc:`formsets </topics/forms/formsets>` for details.
The ``edit_only`` argument allows :ref:`preventing new objects creation
<model-formsets-edit-only>`.
See :ref:`model-formsets` for example usage.
``inlineformset_factory``
=========================
.. function:: inlineformset_factory(parent_model, model, form=ModelForm, formset=BaseInlineFormSet, fk_name=None, fields=None, exclude=None, extra=3, can_order=False, can_delete=True, max_num=None, formfield_callback=None, widgets=None, validate_max=False, localized_fields=None, labels=None, help_texts=None, error_messages=None, min_num=None, validate_min=False, field_classes=None, absolute_max=None, can_delete_extra=True, renderer=None, edit_only=False)
Returns an ``InlineFormSet`` using :func:`modelformset_factory` with
defaults of ``formset=``:class:`~django.forms.models.BaseInlineFormSet`,
``can_delete=True``, and ``extra=3``.
If your model has more than one :class:`~django.db.models.ForeignKey` to
the ``parent_model``, you must specify a ``fk_name``.
See :ref:`inline-formsets` for example usage.
