I was trying to get to grips with forms in order to create some ticket-
sales management for my theatre group wiki, and was therefor
confronted by the forms documentation. I was surprised, because the
documentation pages did not help.

They are clearly not complete, and normally I would simply pitch in
and help write them, but if I could do that I would not have needed
them in the first place. Instead, I thought I'd offer some feedback.

Anyway. I think the biggest problem I had with the documentation pages
is that there are no examples.

Take, for example, the "warn" command. The code:

[form]
[hidden message "warning message"]
[session warn {=message}]
[session warn message]
[submit]
[form]

Does absolutely nothing when pressed. By the documentation I would
have expected, i dunnu, a warning message, but there is nothing there
which would suggest this or any other usage.

I get similar results when using the if command, and I believe
inserting simple example code would greatly increase readability of
the forms documentation.

Further, there are a lot of great suggestions in the forms
documentation, but without boltwire example code, it is often
difficult to see directly what the writer is trying to suggest.
