The Forme docs point out that Forme comes with a domain-specific language. Am I correct in understanding that this is why one can go

Forme.form(:action=>'/foo') do |f|
f.input(:text, :name=>'bar')
f.tag(:fieldset) do
f.input(:textarea, :name=>’baz')
end
end

instead of

Forme.form(:action=>'/foo') do |f|
[f.input(:text, :name=>'bar’),
f.tag(:fieldset) do
f.input(:textarea, :name=>’baz')
end]
end

, or is it something subtler than that?

Sort of. The return value of the Form.form block is not used.

The reason it works either way is that f.input and f.tag add the input/tag
to f. This is implemented so that inside the fieldset, calling f.input
adds the textarea to the fieldset tag instead of the root form tag.

Thanks,
