Re: how to add a non-field text property to forms in a formset

I guess that what I'm saying is that when you get fussy about rendering, you
need to write the html/css yourself. Because you say you want read only for
these fields, don't use the form field's rendering at all (or use a
hidden field).
Compose a div or span or whatever suits your fancy, and pass what you want
for content as a context variable (or possibly extract it from the
hidden field's
bound field object, I'd have to go look at the docs and maybe code). If you
want to choose between two constructs based on a complex evaluation of
the content, do it in python, in the view and pass it as a boolean in another
context variable to use in an if tag (or calculate in a model or form method
that is easy to call from the template code).

Or I may be totally misunderstanding the original problem.
