= [GenshiRecipes Genshi Recipes]: Automatically Populating an HTML Form =
The following template provides a match template that automatically adds a `value` attribute to any `` element that has matching data in the context.
{{{
#!xml
}}}
Assuming the context data contained a variable “form” that was set to:
{{{
#!python
form = {'name': 'Look, Ma',
'enable': '',
'option': 'B',
'description': 'This is the description someone put in here',
'dropdown': '2'}
}}}
Then the output would look as follows:
{{{
#!xml
}}}
