Example:

(My line-formatting is going to get wiped out by the Markdown processor, so you'll have to paste this into an editor and do indenting there.)

{% if form.errors %} <ul class="messages"> {% with form|nice_errors as qq %} {% for error_name,desc in qq.items %} <li>{{ error_name }}:</li> <li>{{ desc }}</li> {% endfor %} </ul> {% endwith %} {% endif %}

Since ErrorDict does some auto-HTMLizing of the dict values, this will produce doubly-nested unordered lists.
