WTForms... html, autofocus?

Question

Is it possible to have some of the new attribute only attributes used in HTML5, inside of WTForms?

Eg, say you want to create a TextField with placeholder="foo", required, and autofocus attributes. How would this be done in WTForms?

In html it would look like this: <input maxlength="256" name="q" value="" placeholder="foo" autofocus required>

Note that placeholder="foo" is easily done in WTForms. autofocus and required, because they have no value, are .. well, as far as i've seen, not supported in WTForms.

Can WTForms support this?

You'll probably need to create a custom widget.
