Description

Please could someone put in the documentation that you can access a forms field value in a template by using the following

{{ form.apple.value }}

I only ask because I couldn't find anything on the web about and it's only by trying it that I found it worked

Actually, {{ form.apple.value }} will not be correct if value is None.
{{ form.apple.value|default_if_none:"" }} is a better choice.

See #16758 - same comment. Also, note that you don't need to add yourself in Cc explicitly. If you've contributed to a ticket (written a comment, uploaded a patch...) Trac will always notify you of updates.

Nice and simple addition to the docs, but I do not really agree with the remark about it not being "correct" and one "should" use the default filter: an empty string is not technically None either. Encountering None in templates is something more general and does not need to get mentioned here.
