If tapestry jar included bootstrap.less then perhaps it would then be easy
to massage into columns like this:
my.tml:
<t:beaneditform class="myform-3-6" ...>
my.less:
@import "tapestry5/bootstrap_3_0_0/css/bootstrap.less";
.myform-3-6 {
.form-horizontal;
}
.myform-3-6 .form-group .control-label {
.col-sm-3;
}
.myform-3-6 .formgroup .form-control {
.col-sm-6;
}
