Re: [FE-discuss] htmlfill question

Thanks Chris.

I knew about being able to specify & pass custom formatters.  I wanted to avoid that, and rely on the auto error.  I guess i wanted a clue on how to patch formencode.

My issue is with the behavior I illustrated below, which I would consider a bug.

One would assume that if you pass in the "auto_error_formatter" argument, it would be used for generating ALL errors.  Instead it generates errors only for html input type elements, and does not format the form:error blocks.
