Wrong info on API Documentation - ThreadedCommentForm

[airstrike]

The markup field on ThreadedCommentForm's is not required. I've created a form with just {{ form.comment }} and the markup defaults to plaintext (which is imho the expected behavior).

My advice is to change the docs to reflect the form's actual behavior rather than requiring markup.

You can find examples in the documentation links below:

---

API Documentation (http://tinyurl.com/django-tc-docs1)

ThreadedCommentForm

Simply includes two fields: comment, and markup.

(...)
_markup: _required* The type of markup that the comment is using. This may be easily overridden in a subclass to become a HiddenInput, if the user is not to be given a choice of markup options.*

Common Fields

(...)

The following fields deal with the actual content of the comment itself:

(...)

:markup [IntegerField]:
required The format of the comment. Values may be MARKDOWN,
TEXTILE, REST, PLAINTEXT. This can be used for display
purposes when deciding how to format the comment for viewing.

Hi, I'm sorry this ticket has been open so long. I'm closing it, as the markup field no longer applies to the latest version.
