#35070 closed Cleanup/optimization (invalid)

Default form output in docs is shown as as_table() instead of as_div()

Description

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/forms/api/#outputting-forms-as-html

"This default output is a two-column HTML table, with a <tr> for each field."

"... <table> output is the default output style when you print a form ..."

The examples in this section show that if you print a form, it will render as an html table.
However, if I try the examples locally, the form is rendered as a series of div elements.
This leads me to think that the documentation doesn't reflect this new default.
I'm not sure when this default was introduced, but it might be ~Django version 4.1, as that is when as_div() was added.

These docs are correct for Django 4.2.

<div> became the default form rendering style when outputting a form in Django 5.0, check out release notes.

Replying to Mariusz Felisiak:

Oops! Thank you, I didn't notice the link was for 4.2 instead of 5.0
