Detailed Description

Wrapper that separates quickforms syntax from moodle code.

Moodle specific wrapper that separates quickforms syntax from moodle code. You won't directly use this class you should write a class definition which extends this class or a more specific subclass such a moodleform_mod for each form you want to display and/or process with formslib.

You will write your own definition() method which performs the form set up.
