Customize the html output of Django's form validation

Question

Whenever you use a {{ form.field.errors }} tag in a Django template, the validation message that is displayed is always surrounded with a unordered list tag. This is not ideal for me. Am I able to modify the surrounding validation message html for a form from a reusable package?

From the django docs about looping over a form's fields:

{{ field.errors }}
Outputs a <ul class="errorlist"> containing any validation errors corresponding to this field. You can customize the presentation of the errors with a {% for error in field.errors %} loop. In this case, each object in the loop is a simple string containing the error message.

So for example, to wrap each error in <p> tags you would do:

{% for error in form.field.errors %}
    <p>{{ error|escape }}</p>    
{% endfor %}
