21006	Add an example of the formset argument for inlineformset_factory	treysta@…	Tianyi Wang	"https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.5/topics/forms/modelforms/#overriding-clean-on-an-inlineformset

It looks like there is a somewhat relevant piece of information missing from this section. It leaves out the fact that you also must specify which formset to use when creating your inlineformset in the view:

Currently:

""See Overriding clean() on a ModelFormSet, but subclass BaseInlineFormSet rather than BaseModelFormSet.""

Suggestion:

""See Overriding clean() on a ModelFormSet, but subclass BaseInlineFormSet rather than BaseModelFormSet. You must also specify which formset to use when creating your inlineformset in your view:""
