+Introduction
+------------
+
+BlueBream provides a HTML form library called ``zope.formlib`` to
+generate forms and widgets.  There is an advanced community supported
+library called ``z3c.form``.  This chapter will describe about using
+``zope.formlib``.
+
+Forms are web components that use widgets to display and input data.
+Typically a template displays the widgets by accessing an attribute
+or method on an underlying class.  BlueBream use ``zope.formlib`` to
+create various forms.  Example form are AddForm, EditForm, Form.
+
+Instead of using a form library, you can create all form manually.
+But the formlib avoids many duplication works.  The formlib generate
+form for getting input data.  You can also create validators and
+responses.
