DisplayModelForm
Subclass of the ModelForm which allows to make fields 'display_only'. This means no formfield will be displayed, but a suitable representation. You can make all fields display_only or just a few (or you can use the form as a normal modelform). There are also some extra's to easily set attrs on fields or set help_texts on widgets when using this form. Why ? I made my own set of generic crud views based on newforms, but added a 'display' view to simply display objects, in the same table layout as the editing is done, but without the fields. I wanted to avoid having to redefine my forms twice and I wanted to reuse some generic templates as much as possible. Obviously this is not good for performance, but I use it for an intranet app with a lot of objects, but not that big a load. Their is definitely still a lot of room for improvement, and maybe all this could have been done much easier. How to use? See the docstring.
