Description
I am a django newbie but I think I have noticed a possible error in your documentation on this page:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0.96/newforms/
When I have a forms object, f, and want to print it as f.as_p() I get the following error:
Request Method: GET Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/tradestats/MainCountryCorrelations/ Exception Type: TemplateSyntaxError Exception Value: Could not parse the remainder: () Exception Location: /var/lib/python-support/python2.5/django/template/__init__.py in __init__, line 558
However, calling it without the parentheses (i.e. "f.as_p") I get the output I want. This is also true of .as_ul() and .as_table(). The documention always has the parentheses, so I'm guessing this is an error in the documentation.
Hope this helps you. (I'm really liking the framework by the way.)

- If you've found an error in the 0.96 docs, it _won't_ be fixed. The 0.96 docs are as they were published. We only make changes to the trunk documentation.
- It doesn't sound like you have found a bug - it sounds like you're using a template with {{ f.as_p() }}. This is as-designed - you don't include the function call brackets in the template. It is also a documented feature in the documentation on the Django template language. If you have further questions about this, please ask them on the django-users mailing list.
