 Note that HTMLarea invokes a widget which sets a CSS class which calls javascript in 
 templates/html_editor_scripts_css.html - which imports jquery and codemirror directly, without
 declaring it anywhere or locally installing it. (!)
+
+Django handles three distinct parts of the work involved in forms:
+- preparing and restructuring data to make it ready for rendering
+- creating HTML forms for the data
+- receiving and processing submitted forms and data from the client
+It is possible to write code that does all of this manually, but Django can take care of it all for you.
