Django: display text between form fields

Hi Stackoverflow people,

I am displaying a large form through a loop:

    <table>
    {% for field in projectDetailForm %}
    <tr>
        <td> {{ field.label_tag }} </td>
        <td> {{ field }} </td>
    </tr>
    {% endfor %}
    </table>  

I would like to interrupt the table with the form fields after a few form fields to display more explanations. Since the form is fairly large (20 fields开发者_如何学Go), I would like to avoid the "manual display" of each form field (as described here).

Is there a way to display the text form within the loop, either after the x-th loop or after a specific form field?

Thank you for your advice!

I would either use forloop.counter or set a custom attribute on a form field on form initialization and display the attribute the same way you display field.label_tag

You can add a method to your form, which will return fields by portions. Something like:

def by_5(self):
    iterable = iter(self)
    zipped = zip(*([iterable] * 5)) # replace 5 by desired n
    for z in zipped:
        yield z
    remained = list(iterable)
    if remained:
        yield remained

Then in template:

<table>
{% for fields in projectDetailForm.by_5 %}
    {% for field in fields %}
    <tr>
        <td> {{ field.label_tag }} </td>
        <td> {{ field }} </td>
    </tr> 
    {% endfor %}
    <tr><td colspan="2">Hi there!</td></tr>
{% endfor %}
</table>  

There is a {{ forloop.counter }} and {{ forloop.counter0 }} (1-indexed and 0-indexed respectively) that you can use.
