+NAME
+  form - Formtastic form generator.
+  
+DESCRIPTION
+  Generates formtastic form code based on an existing model. By default the generated code will be printed out directly in the terminal, and also copied to clipboard. Can optionally be saved into partial directly.
+  
+  Required:
+    ExistingModelName - The name of an existing model for which the generator should generate form code.
+    
+  Options:
+    --haml      Generate HAML instead of ERB.
+    --partial   Generate a form partial in the model views path, i.e. "_form.html.erb" or _form.html.haml".
+    
+EXAMPLE
+  ./script/generate form ExistingModelName [--haml] [--partial]

+    # * :date (a date select) - default for :date column types
+    # * :datetime (a date and time select) - default for :datetime and :timestamp column types
+    # * :time (a time select) - default for :time column types
+    # * :boolean (a checkbox) - default for :boolean column types (you can also have booleans as :select and :radio)
+    # * :string (a text field) - default for :string column types
+    # * :numeric (a text field, like string) - default for :integer, :float and :decimal column types
+    # * :country (a select menu of country names) - requires a country_select plugin to be installed
+    # * :hidden (a hidden field) - creates a hidden field (added for compatibility)

+    # Creates an input fieldset and ol tag wrapping for use around a set of inputs.  It can be
+    # called either with a block (in which you can do the usual Rails form stuff, HTML, ERB, etc),
+    # or with a list of fields.  These two examples are functionally equivalent:
+    #
+    #   # With a block:
+    #   <% semantic_form_for @post do |form| %>
+    #     <% form.inputs do %>
+    #       <%= form.input :title %>
+    #       <%= form.input :body %>
+    #     <% end %>
+    #   <% end %>
+    #
+    #   # With a list of fields:
+    #   <% semantic_form_for @post do |form| %>
+    #     <%= form.inputs :title, :body %>
+    #   <% end %>
+    #
+    #   # Output:
+    #   <form ...>
+    #     <fieldset class="inputs">
+    #       <ol>
+    #         <li class="string">...</li>
+    #         <li class="text">...</li>
+    #       </ol>
+    #     </fieldset>
+    #   </form>
+    #
+    # === Quick Forms
+    #
+    # When called without a block or a field list, an input is rendered for each column in the
+    # model's database table, just like Rails' scaffolding.  You'll obviously want more control
+    # than this in a production application, but it's a great way to get started, then come back
+    # later to customise the form with a field list or a block of inputs.  Example:
+    #
+    #   <% semantic_form_for @post do |form| %>
+    #     <%= form.inputs %>
+    #   <% end %>
+    #
+    # === Options
+    #
+    # All options (with the exception of :name) are passed down to the fieldset as HTML
+    # attributes (id, class, style, etc).  If provided, the :name option is passed into a
+    # legend tag inside the fieldset (otherwise a legend is not generated).
+    #
+    #   # With a block:
+    #   <% semantic_form_for @post do |form| %>
+    #     <% form.inputs :name => "Create a new post", :style => "border:1px;" do %>
+    #       ...
+    #     <% end %>
+    #   <% end %>
+    #
+    #   # With a list (the options must come after the field list):
+    #   <% semantic_form_for @post do |form| %>
+    #     <%= form.inputs :title, :body, :name => "Create a new post", :style => "border:1px;" %>
+    #   <% end %>
+    #
+    # === It's basically a fieldset!
+    #
+    # Instead of hard-coding fieldsets & legends into your form to logically group related fields,
+    # use inputs:
+    #
+    #   <% semantic_form_for @post do |f| %>
+    #     <% f.inputs do %>
+    #       <%= f.input :title %>
+    #       <%= f.input :body %>
+    #     <% end %>
+    #     <% f.inputs :name => "Advanced", :id => "advanced" do %>
+    #       <%= f.input :created_at %>
+    #       <%= f.input :user_id, :label => "Author" %>
+    #     <% end %>
+    #   <% end %>
+    #
+    #   # Output:
+    #   <form ...>
+    #     <fieldset class="inputs">
+    #       <ol>
+    #         <li class="string">...</li>
+    #         <li class="text">...</li>
+    #       </ol>
+    #     </fieldset>
+    #     <fieldset class="inputs" id="advanced">
+    #       <legend><span>Advanced</span></legend>
+    #       <ol>
+    #         <li class="datetime">...</li>
+    #         <li class="select">...</li>
+    #       </ol>
+    #     </fieldset>
+    #   </form>
+    #
+    # === Nested attributes
+    #
+    # As in Rails, you can use semantic_fields_for to nest attributes:
+    #
+    #   <% semantic_form_for @post do |form| %>
+    #     <%= form.inputs :title, :body %>
+    #
+    #     <% form.semantic_fields_for :author, @bob do |author_form| %>
+    #       <% author_form.inputs do %>
+    #         <%= author_form.input :first_name, :required => false %>
+    #         <%= author_form.input :last_name %>
+    #       <% end %>
+    #     <% end %>
+    #   <% end %>
+    #
+    # But this does not look formtastic! This is equivalent:
+    #
+    #   <% semantic_form_for @post do |form| %>
+    #     <%= form.inputs :title, :body %>
+    #     <% form.inputs :for => [ :author, @bob ] do |author_form| %>
+    #       <%= author_form.input :first_name, :required => false %>
+    #       <%= author_form.input :last_name %>
+    #     <% end %>
+    #   <% end %>
+    #
+    # And if you don't need to give options to your input call, you could do it
+    # in just one line:
+    #
+    #   <% semantic_form_for @post do |form| %>
+    #     <%= form.inputs :title, :body %>
+    #     <%= form.inputs :first_name, :last_name, :for => @bob %>
+    #   <% end %>
+    #
+    # Just remember that calling inputs generates a new fieldset to wrap your
+    # inputs. If you have two separate models, but, semantically, on the page
+    # they are part of the same fieldset, you should use semantic_fields_for
+    # instead (just as you would do with Rails' form builder).

+    # You can customize the options available in the select by passing in a collection (an Array or 
+    # Hash) through the :collection option.  If not provided, the choices are found by inferring the 
+    # parent's class name from the method name and simply calling find(:all) on it 
+    # (VehicleOwner.find(:all) in the example above).
+    #
+    # Examples:
+    #
+    #   f.input :author, :collection => @authors
+    #   f.input :author, :collection => Author.find(:all)
+    #   f.input :author, :collection => [@justin, @kate]

+    #
+    # The :label_method option allows you to customize the text label inside each option tag two ways:
+    #
+    # * by naming the correct method to call on each object in the collection as a symbol (:name, :login, etc)
+    # * by passing a Proc that will be called on each object in the collection, allowing you to use helpers or multiple model attributes together
+    #

+    #   f.input :author, :label_method => :full_name
+    #   f.input :author, :label_method => :login
+    #   f.input :author, :label_method => :full_name_with_post_count
+    #   f.input :author, :label_method => Proc.new { |a| "#{a.name} (#{pluralize("post", a.posts.count)})" }
+    #
+    # The :value_method option provides the same customization of the value attribute of each option tag.
+    #
+    # Examples:
