Background

Prior to Django 4.0 forms were rendered by string concatenation.

A number of 3rd party packages allowed for forms to be rendered as templates e.g. floppy forms, crispy-forms.

Django 4.0 introduced the capability to render forms using the template engine. This allowed the form template to be set per form class or per instance if a template name is provided when calling render().
