New description:
There are a couple of form attributes such as required that was introduced
in HTML5 that should not contain a value. For exaple required="required"
is valid but for example required="true" will result in failed validation
with true being marked as a bad value.
The correct use would be:
{{{<input type="email" required />}}}
Currently in forms.py attributes cannot be specified without a value which
rely on the author knowing that a value of 'true' not being valid but
'required' being ok. it would be great if Django supports valueless
attributes.
Perhaps doing:
{{{
widget=forms.TextInput(
attrs={
'required': ''
}))
}}}
will result in an input of:
{{{<input type="text" required />}}}
