Getting started

'''FlexForm''' is a parser function. You can use it on any page and in any namespace. By default it will render plain HTML5 forms with no styling. To bring forms to life and make them attractive, you will need to add styling to a '''FlexForm''' or render using themes.

'''FlexForm''' syntax is much like creating a standard form in HTML5, so if you are familiar with creating HTML5 forms, you should have no problems with '''FlexForm'''.

If you are not familiar with HTML Forms, then [https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_forms.asp this link to W3schools] might be a good start.

Example:

This is a simple HTML5 form :<syntaxhighlight lang="html5">
<form>
<label for="name">Name</label>
<input type="text" name="name" />
<input type="submit" value="submit" />
</form>
</syntaxhighlight>This is the same form, but now build with '''FlexForm''' :<syntaxhighlight>
<_form action="get">
<_label for="name">Name</_label>
<_input type="text" name="name" />
<_input type="submit" value="submit" />
</_form>
</syntaxhighlight>
