+==============
+Django Tagging
+==============
+
+A generic tagging application for `Django`_ projects, which allows
+association of a number of tags with any Django model instance and makes
+retrieval of tags simple.
+
+.. _`Django`: http://www.djangoproject.com
+
+.. contents::
+ :depth: 3
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+Installing an official release
+------------------------------
+
+Official releases are made available from
+http://code.google.com/p/django-tagging/
+
+Source distribution
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Download the .zip distribution file and unpack it. Inside is a script
+named ``setup.py``. Enter this command::
+
+ python setup.py install
+
+...and the package will install automatically.
+
+Windows installer
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A Windows installer is also made available - download the .exe
+distribution file and launch it to install the application.
+
+An uninstaller will also be created, accessible through Add/Remove
+Programs in your Control Panel.
+
+Installing the development version
+----------------------------------
+
+Alternatively, if you'd like to update Django Tagging occasionally to pick
+up the latest bug fixes and enhancements before they make it into an
+official release, perform a `Subversion`_ checkout instead. The following
+command will check the application's development branch out to an
+``tagging-trunk`` directory::
+
+ svn checkout http://django-tagging.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ tagging-trunk
+
+Add the resulting folder to your `PYTHONPATH`_ or symlink (`junction`_,
+if you're on Windows) the ``tagging`` directory inside it into a
+directory which is on your PYTHONPATH, such as your Python
+installation's ``site-packages`` directory.
+
+You can verify that the application is available on your PYTHONPATH by
+opening a Python interpreter and entering the following commands::
+
+ >>> import tagging
+ >>> tagging.VERSION
+ (0, 3, 'pre')
+
+When you want to update your copy of the Django Tagging source code, run
+the command ``svn update`` from within the ``tagging-trunk`` directory.
+
+.. caution::
+
+ The development version may contain bugs which are not present in the
+ release version and introduce backwards-incompatible changes.
+
+ If you're tracking trunk, keep an eye on the `CHANGELOG`_ and the
+ `backwards-incompatible changes wiki page`_ before you update your
+ copy of the source code.
+
+.. _`Subversion`: http://subversion.tigris.org
+.. _`PYTHONPATH`: http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html#SECTION008110000000000000000
+.. _`junction`: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/FileAndDisk/Junction.mspx
+.. _`CHANGELOG`: http://django-tagging.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/CHANGELOG.txt
+.. _`backwards-incompatible changes wiki page`: http://code.google.com/p/django-tagging/wiki/BackwardsIncompatibleChanges
+
+Using Django Tagging in your applications
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Once you've installed Django Tagging and want to use it in your Django
+applications, do the following:
+
+ 1. Put ``'tagging'`` in your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting.
+ 2. Run the command ``manage.py syncdb``.
+
+The ``syncdb`` command creates the necessary database tables and
+creates permission objects for all installed apps that need them.
+
+That's it!
+
+
+Settings
+========
+
+Some of the application's behaviour can be configured by adding the
+appropriate settings to your project's settings file.
+
+The following settings are available:
+
+FORCE_LOWERCASE_TAGS
+--------------------
+
+Default: ``False``
+
+A boolean that turns on/off forcing of all tag names to lowercase before
+they are saved to the database.
+
+MAX_TAG_LENGTH
+--------------
+
+Default: ``50``
+
+An integer which specifies the maximum length which any tag is allowed
+to have. This is used for validation in the ``django.contrib.admin``
+application and in any ``newforms`` forms automatically generated using
+``ModelForm``.
+
+
+Registering your models
+=======================
+
+**New in developement version**
+
+Your Django models can be registered with the tagging application to
+access some additional tagging-related features.
+
+.. note::
+
+ You don't *have* to register your models in order to use them with
+ the tagging application - many of the features added by registration
+ are just convenience wrappers around the tagging API provided by the
+ ``Tag`` and ``TaggedItem`` models and their managers, as documented
+ further below.
+
+The ``register`` function
+-------------------------
+
+To register a model, import the ``tagging`` module and call its
+``register`` function, like so::
+
+ from django.db import models
+
+ import tagging
+
+ class Widget(models.Model):
+ name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
+
+ tagging.register(Widget)
+
+The following argument is required:
+
+``model``
+ The model class to be registered.
+
+ An exception will be raised if you attempt to register the same class
+ more than once.
+
+The following arguments are optional, with some recommended defaults -
+take care to specify different attribute names if the defaults clash
+with your model class' definition:
+
+``tag_descriptor_attr``
+ The name of an attribute in the model class which will hold a tag
+ descriptor for the model. Default: ``'tags'``
+
+ See `TagDescriptor`_ below for details about the use of this
+ descriptor.
+
+``tagged_item_manger_attr``
+ The name of an attribute in the model class which will hold a custom
+ manager for accessing tagged items for the model. Default:
+ ``'tagged'``.
+
+ See `ModelTaggedItemManager`_ below for details about the use of this
+ manager.
+
+``TagDescriptor``
+-----------------
+
+When accessed through the model class itself, this descriptor will return
+a ``ModelTagManager`` for the model. See `ModelTagManager`_ below for
+more details about its use.
+
+When accessed through a model instance, this descriptor provides a handy
+means of retrieving, updating and deleting the instance's tags. For
+example::
+
+ >>> widget = Widget.objects.create(name='Testing descriptor')
+ >>> widget.tags
+ []
+ >>> widget.tags = 'toast, melted cheese, butter'
+ >>> widget.tags
+ [<Tag: butter>, <Tag: melted cheese>, <Tag: toast>]
+ >>> del widget.tags
+ >>> widget.tags
+ []
+
+``ModelTagManager``
+-------------------
+
+A manager for retrieving tags used by a particular model.
+
+Defines the following methods:
+
+* ``get_query_set()`` -- as this method is redefined, any ``QuerySets``
+ created by this model will be initially restricted to contain the
+ distinct tags used by all the model's instances.
+
+* ``cloud(*args, **kwargs)`` -- creates a list of tags used by the
+ model's instances, with ``count`` and ``font_size`` attributes set for
+ use in displaying a tag cloud.
+
+ See the documentation on ``Tag``'s manager's `cloud_for_model method`_
+ for information on additional arguments which can be given.
+
+* ``related(self, tags, *args, **kwargs)`` -- creates a list of tags
+ used by the model's instances, which are also used by all instance
+ which have the given ``tags``.
+
+ See the documentation on ``Tag``'s manager's
+ `related_for_model method`_ for information on additional arguments
+ which can be given.
+
+* ``usage(self, *args, **kwargs))`` -- creates a list of tags used by
+ the model's instances, with optional usages counts, restriction based
+ on usage counts and restriction of the model instances from which
+ usage and counts are determined.
+
+ See the documentation on ``Tag``'s manager's `usage_for_model method`_
+ for information on additional arguments which can be given.
+
+Example usage::
+
+ # Create a ``QuerySet`` of tags used by Widget instances
+ Widget.tags.all()
+
+ # Retrieve a list of tags used by Widget instances with usage counts
+ Widget.tags.usage(counts=True)
+
+ # Retrieve tags used by instances of WIdget which are also tagged with
+ # 'cheese' and 'toast'
+ Widget.tags.related(['cheese', 'toast'], counts=True, min_count=3)
+
+``ModelTaggedItemManager``
+--------------------------
+
+A manager for retrieving model instance for a particular model, based on
+their tags.
+
+* ``related_to(obj, queryset=None, num=None)`` -- creates a list
+ of model instances which are related to ``obj``, based on its tags. If
+ a ``queryset`` argument is provided, it will be used to restrict the
+ resulting list of model instances.
+
+ If ``num`` is given, a maximum of ``num`` instances will be returned.
+
+* ``with_all(tags, queryset=None)`` -- creates a ``QuerySet`` containing
+ model instances which are tagged with *all* the given tags. If a
+ ``queryset`` argument is provided, it will be used as the basis for
+ the resulting ``QuerySet``.
+
+* ``with_any(tags, queryset=None)`` -- creates a ``QuerySet`` containing model
+ instances which are tagged with *any* the given tags. If a ``queryset``
+ argument is provided, it will be used as the basis for the resulting
+ ``QuerySet``.
+
+
+Tags
+====
+
+Tags are represented by the ``Tag`` model, which lives in the
+``tagging.models`` module.
+
+API reference
+-------------
+
+Fields
+~~~~~~
+
+``Tag`` objects have the following fields:
+
+* ``name`` -- The name of the tag. This is a unique value.
+
+Manager functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``Tag`` model has a custom manager which has the following helper
+methods:
+
+* ``update_tags(obj, tag_names)`` -- updates tags associated with an
+ object.
+
+ ``tag_names`` is a string containing tag names with which ``obj``
+ should be tagged.
+
+ If ``tag_names`` is ``None`` or ``''``, the object's tags will be
+ cleared.
+
+* ``add_tag(obj, tag_name)`` -- associates a tag with an an object.
+
+ ``tag_name`` is a string containing a tag name with which ``obj``
+ should be tagged.
+
+* ``get_for_object(obj)`` -- returns a ``QuerySet`` containing all
+ ``Tag`` objects associated with ``obj``.
+
+.. _`usage_for_model method`:
+
+* ``usage_for_model(model, counts=False, min_count=None, filters=None)``
+ -- returns a list of ``Tag`` objects associated with instances of
+ ``model``.
+
+ If ``counts`` is ``True``, a ``count`` attribute will be added to each
+ tag, indicating how many times it has been associated with instances
+ of ``model``.
+
+ If ``min_count`` is given, only tags which have a ``count`` greater
+ than or equal to ``min_count`` will be returned. Passing a value for
+ ``min_count`` implies ``counts=True``.
+
+ To limit the tags (and counts, if specified) returned to those used by
+ a subset of the model's instances, pass a dictionary of field lookups
+ to be applied to ``model`` as the ``filters`` argument.
+
+.. _`related_for_model method`:
+
+* ``related_for_model(tags, Model, counts=False, min_count=None)``
+ -- returns a list of tags related to a given list of tags - that is,
+ other tags used by items which have all the given tags.
+
+ If ``counts`` is ``True``, a ``count`` attribute will be added to each
+ tag, indicating the number of items which have it in addition to the
+ given list of tags.
+
+ If ``min_count`` is given, only tags which have a ``count`` greater
+ than or equal to ``min_count`` will be returned. Passing a value for
+ ``min_count`` implies ``counts=True``.
+
+.. _`cloud_for_model method`:
+
+* ``cloud_for_model(Model, steps=4, distribution=LOGARITHMIC,
+ filters=None, min_count=None)`` -- returns a list of the distinct
+ ``Tag`` objects associated with instances of ``Model``, each having a
+ ``count`` attribute as above and an additional ``font_size``
+ attribute, for use in creation of a tag cloud (a type of weighted
+ list).
+
+ ``steps`` defines the number of font sizes available - ``font_size``
+ may be an integer between ``1`` and ``steps``, inclusive.
+
+ ``distribution`` defines the type of font size distribution algorithm
+ which will be used - logarithmic or linear. It must be either
+ ``tagging.utils.LOGARITHMIC`` or ``tagging.utils.LINEAR``.
+
+ To limit the tags displayed in the cloud to those associated with a
+ subset of the Model's instances, pass a dictionary of field lookups to
+ be applied to the given Model as the ``filters`` argument.
+
+ To limit the tags displayed in the cloud to those with a ``count``
+ greater than or equal to ``min_count``, pass a value for the
+ ``min_count`` argument.
+
+**New in development version**
+
+* ``usage_for_queryset(queryset, counts=False, min_count=None)`` --
+ Obtains a list of tags associated with instances of a model contained
+ in the given queryset.
+
+ If ``counts`` is True, a ``count`` attribute will be added to each tag,
+ indicating how many times it has been used against the Model class in
+ question.
+
+ If ``min_count`` is given, only tags which have a ``count`` greater
+ than or equal to ``min_count`` will be returned.
+
+ Passing a value for ``min_count`` implies ``counts=True``.
+
+Basic usage
+-----------
+
+Tagging objects and retrieving an object's tags
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Objects may be tagged using the ``update_tags`` helper function::
+
+ >>> from shop.apps.products.models import Widget
+ >>> from tagging.models import Tag
+ >>> widget = Widget.objects.get(pk=1)
+ >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget, 'house thing')
+
+Retrieve tags for an object using the ``get_for_object`` helper
+function::
+
+ >>> Tag.objects.get_for_object(widget)
+ [<Tag: house>, <Tag: thing>]
+
+Tags are created, associated and unassociated accordingly when you use
+``update_tags`` and ``add_tags``::
+
+ >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget, 'house monkey')
+ >>> Tag.objects.get_for_object(widget)
+ [<Tag: house>, <Tag: monkey>]
+ >>> Tag.objects.add_tag(widget, 'tiles')
+ >>> Tag.objects.get_for_object(widget)
+ [<Tag: house>, <Tag: monkey>, <Tag: tiles>]
+
+Clear an object's tags by passing ``None`` or ``''`` to
+``update_tags``::
+
+ >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget, None)
+ >>> Tag.objects.get_for_object(widget)
+ []
+
+Retrieving tags used by a particular model
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To retrieve all tags used for a particular model, use the
+``get_for_model`` helper function::
+
+ >>> widget1 = Widget.objects.get(pk=1)
+ >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget1, 'house thing')
+ >>> widget2 = Widget.objects.get(pk=2)
+ >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget2, 'cheese toast house')
+ >>> Tag.objects.usage_for_model(Widget)
+ [<Tag: cheese>, <Tag: house>, <Tag: thing>, <Tag: toast>]
+
+To get a count of how many times each tag was used for a particular
+model, pass in ``True`` for the ``counts`` argument::
+
+ >>> tags = Tag.objects.usage_for_model(Widget, counts=True)
+ >>> [(tag.name, tag.count) for tag in tags]
+ [('cheese', 1), ('house', 2), ('thing', 1), ('toast', 1)]
+
+To get counts and limit the tags returned to those with counts above a
+certain size, pass in a ``min_count`` argument::
+
+ >>> tags = Tag.objects.usage_for_model(Widget, min_count=2)
+ >>> [(tag.name, tag.count) for tag in tags]
+ [('house', 2)]
+
+You can also specify a dictionary of `field lookups`_ to be used to
+restrict the tags and counts returned based on a subset of the
+model's instances. For example, the following would retrieve all tags
+used on Widgets created by a user named Alan which have a size
+greater than 99::
+
+ >>> Tag.objects.usage_for_model(Widget, filters=dict(size__gt=99, user__username='Alan'))
+
+.. _`field lookups`: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-api/#field-lookups
+
+**New in development version**
+
+The ``usage_for_queryset`` method allows you to pass a pre-filtered
+queryset to be used when determining tag usage::
+
+ >>> Tag.objects.usage_for_queryset(Widget.objects.filter(size__gt=99, user__username='Alan'))
+
+Tag input
+---------
+
+Tag input from users is treated as follows:
+
+* If the input doesn't contain any commas or double quotes, it is simply
+ treated as a space-delimited list of tag names.
+
+* If the input does contain either of these characters, we parse the
+ input like so:
+
+ * Groups of characters which appear between double quotes take
+ precedence as multi-word tags (so double quoted tag names may
+ contain commas). An unclosed double quote will be ignored.
+
+ * For the remaining input, if there are any unquoted commas in the
+ input, the remainder will be treated as comma-delimited. Otherwise,
+ it will be treated as space-delimited.
+
+Examples:
+
+====================== ======================================= ================================================
+Tag input string Resulting tags Notes
+====================== ======================================= ================================================
+apple ball cat [``apple``], [``ball``], [``cat``] No commas, so space delimited
+apple, ball cat [``apple``], [``ball cat``] Comma present, so comma delimited
+"apple, ball" cat dog [``apple, ball``], [``cat``], [``dog``] All commas are quoted, so space delimited
+"apple, ball", cat dog [``apple, ball``], [``cat dog``] Contains an unquoted comma, so comma delimited
+apple "ball cat" dog [``apple``], [``ball cat``], [``dog``] No commas, so space delimited
+"apple" "ball dog [``apple``], [``ball``], [``dog``] Unclosed double quote is ignored
+====================== ======================================= ================================================
+
+
+Tagged items
+============
+
+The relationship between a ``Tag`` and an object is represented by
+the ``TaggedItem`` model, which lives in the ``tagging.models``
+module.
+
+API reference
+-------------
+
+Fields
+~~~~~~
+
+``TaggedItem`` objects have the following fields:
+
+* ``tag`` -- The ``Tag`` an object is associated with.
+* ``content_type`` -- The ``ContentType`` of the associated model
+ instance.
+* ``object_id`` -- The id of the associated object.
+* ``object`` -- The associated object itself, accessible via the
+ Generic Relations API.
+
+Manager functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``TaggedItem`` model has a custom manager which has the following
+helper methods, which accept either a ``QuerySet`` or a ``Model``
+class as one of their arguments. To restrict the objects which are
+returned, pass in a filtered ``QuerySet`` for this argument:
+
+* ``get_by_model(queryset_or_model, tag)`` -- creates a ``QuerySet``
+ containing instances of the specififed model which are tagged with
+ the given tag or tags.
+
+* ``get_intersection_by_model(queryset_or_model, tags)`` -- creates a
+ ``QuerySet`` containing instances of the specified model which are
+ tagged with every tag in a list of tags.
+
+ ``get_by_model`` will call this function behind the scenes when you
+ pass it a list, so you can use ``get_by_model`` instead of calling
+ this method directly.
+
+* ``get_union_by_model(queryset_or_model, tags)`` -- creates a
+ ``QuerySet`` containing instances of the specified model which are
+ tagged with any tag in a list of tags.
+
+.. _`get_related method`:
+
+* ``get_related(obj, queryset_or_model, num=None)`` - returns a list of
+ instances of the specified model which share tags with the model
+ instance ``obj``, ordered by the number of shared tags in descending
+ order.
+
+ If ``num`` is given, a maximum of ``num`` instances will be returned.
+
+Basic usage
+-----------
+
+Retrieving tagged objects
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Objects may be retrieved based on their tags using the ``get_by_model``
+manager method::
+
+ >>> from shop.apps.products.models import Widget
+ >>> from tagging.models import Tag
+ >>> house_tag = Tag.objects.get(name='house')
+ >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, house_tag)
+ [<Widget: pk=1>, <Widget: pk=2>]
+
+Passing a list of tags to ``get_by_model`` returns an intersection of
+objects which have those tags, i.e. tag1 AND tag2 ... AND tagN::
+
+ >>> thing_tag = Tag.objects.get(name='thing')
+ >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, [house_tag, thing_tag])
+ [<Widget: pk=1>]
+
+Functions which take tags are flexible when it comes to tag input::
+
+ >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, Tag.objects.filter(name__in=['house', 'thing']))
+ [<Widget: pk=1>]
+ >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, 'house thing')
+ [<Widget: pk=1>]
+ >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, ['house', 'thing'])
+ [<Widget: pk=1>]
+
+Restricting objects returned
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Pass in a ``QuerySet`` to restrict the objects returned::
+
+ # Retrieve all Widgets which have a price less than 50, tagged with 'house'
+ TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget.objects.filter(price__lt=50), 'house')
+
+ # Retrieve all Widgets which have a name starting with 'a', tagged with any
+ # of 'house', 'garden' or 'water'.
+ TaggedItem.objects.get_union_by_model(Widget.objects.filter(name__startswith='a'),
+ ['house', 'garden', 'water'])
+
+
+Utilities
+=========
+
+Tag-related utility functions are defined in the ``tagging.utils``
+module:
+
+``parse_tag_input(input)``
+--------------------------
+
+Parses tag input, with multiple word input being activated and
+delineated by commas and double quotes. Quotes take precedence, so they
+may contain commas.
+
+Returns a sorted list of unique tag names.
+
+See `tag input`_ for more details.
+
+``edit_string_for_tags(tags)``
+------------------------------
+Given list of ``Tag`` instances, creates a string representation of the
+list suitable for editing by the user, such that submitting the given
+string representation back without changing it will give the same list
+of tags.
+
+Tag names which contain commas will be double quoted.
+
+If any tag name which isn't being quoted contains whitespace, the
+resulting string of tag names will be comma-delimited, otherwise it will
+be space-delimited.
+
+``get_tag_list(tags)``
+----------------------
+
+Utility function for accepting tag input in a flexible manner.
+
+If a ``Tag`` object is given, it will be returned in a list as its
+single occupant.
+
+If given, the tag names in the following will be used to create a
+``Tag`` ``QuerySet``:
+
+ * A string, which may contain multiple tag names.
+ * A list or tuple of strings corresponding to tag names.
+ * A list or tuple of integers corresponding to tag ids.
+
+If given, the following will be returned as-is:
+
+ * A list or tuple of ``Tag`` objects.
+ * A ``Tag`` ``QuerySet``.
+
+``calculate_cloud(tags, steps=4, distribution=tagging.utils.LOGARITHMIC)``
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Add a ``font_size`` attribute to each tag according to the frequency of
+its use, as indicated by its ``count`` attribute.
+
+``steps`` defines the range of font sizes - ``font_size`` will be an
+integer between 1 and ``steps`` (inclusive).
+
+``distribution`` defines the type of font size distribution algorithm
+which will be used - logarithmic or linear. It must be one of
+``tagging.utils.LOGARITHMIC`` or ``tagging.utils.LINEAR``.
+
+
+Model Fields
+============
+
+The ``tagging.fields`` module contains fields which make it easy to
+integrate tagging into your models and into the
+``django.contrib.admin`` application.
+
+Field types
+-----------
+
+``TagField``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A ``CharField`` that actually works as a relationship to tags "under
+the hood".
+
+Using this example model::
+
+ class Link(models.Model):
+ ...
+ tags = TagField()
+
+Setting tags::
+
+ >>> l = Link.objects.get(...)
+ >>> l.tags = 'tag1 tag2 tag3'
+
+Getting tags for an instance::
+
+ >>> l.tags
+ 'tag1 tag2 tag3'
+
+Getting tags for a model - i.e. all tags used by all instances of the
+model::
+
+ >>> Link.tags
+ 'tag1 tag2 tag3 tag4 tag5'
+
+This field will also validate that it has been given a valid list of
+tag names, separated by a single comma, a single space or a comma
+followed by a space, using the ``isTagList`` validator from
+``tagging.validators``.
+
+
+Form fields
+===========
+
+The ``tagging.forms`` module contains a ``Field`` for use with
+Django's `newforms library`_ which takes care of validating tag name
+input when used in your forms.
+
+.. _`newforms library`: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/newforms/
+
+Field types
+-----------
+
+``TagField``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A form ``Field`` which is displayed as a single-line text input, which
+validates that the input it receives is a valid list of tag names.
+
+When you generate a form for one of your models automatically, using
+the ``ModelForm`` class provided by newforms, any
+``tagging.fields.TagField`` fields in your model will automatically be
+represented by a ``tagging.forms.TagField`` in the generated form.
+
+
+Generic views
+=============
+
+The ``tagging.views`` module contains views to handle simple cases of
+common display logic related to tagging.
+
+``tagging.views.tagged_object_list``
+------------------------------------
+
+**Description:**
+
+A view that displays a list of objects for a given model which have a
+given tag. This is a thin wrapper around the
+``django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list`` view, which takes a
+model and a tag as its arguments (in addition to the other optional
+arguments supported by ``object_list``), building the appropriate
+``QuerySet`` for you instead of expecting one to be passed in.
+
+**Required arguments:**
+
+ * ``queryset_or_model``: A ``QuerySet`` or Django model class for the
+ object which will be listed.
+
+ * ``tag``: The tag which objects of the given model must have in
+ order to be listed.
+
+**Optional arguments:**
+
+Please refer to the `object_list documentation`_ for additional optional
+arguments which may be given.
+
+ * ``related_tags``: If ``True``, a ``related_tags`` context variable
+ will also contain tags related to the given tag for the given
+ model.
+
+ * ``related_tag_counts``: If ``True`` and ``related_tags`` is
+ ``True``, each related tag will have a ``count`` attribute
+ indicating the number of items which have it in addition to the
+ given tag.
+
+**Template context:**
+
+Please refer to the `object_list documentation`_ for additional
+template context variables which may be provided.
+
+ * ``tag``: The ``Tag`` instance for the given tag.
+
+.. _`object_list documentation`: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/generic_views/#django-views-generic-list-detail-object-list
+
+Example usage
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following sample URLconf demonstrates using this generic view to
+list items of a particular model class which have a given tag::
+
+ from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
+
+ from tagging.views import tagged_object_list
+
+ from shop.apps.products.models import Widget
+
+ urlpatterns = patterns('',
+ url(r'^widgets/tag/(?P<tag>[^/]+)/$',
+ tagged_object_list,
+ dict(model=Widget, paginate_by=10, allow_empty=True,
+ template_object_name='widget'),
+ name='widget_tag_detail'),
+ )
+
+The following sample view demonstrates wrapping this generic view to
+perform filtering of the objects which are listed::
+
+ from myapp.models import People
+
+ from tagging.views import tagged_object_list
+
+ def tagged_people(request, country_code, tag):
+ queryset = People.objects.filter(country__code=country_code)
+ return tagged_object_list(request, queryset, tag, paginate_by=25,
+ allow_empty=True, template_object_name='people')
+
+
+Template tags
+=============
+
+The ``tagging.templatetags.tagging_tags`` module defines a number of
+template tags which may be used to work with tags.
+
+Tag reference
+-------------
+
+tags_for_model
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Retrieves a list of ``Tag`` objects associated with a given model and
+stores them in a context variable.
+
+Usage::
+
+ {% tags_for_model [model] as [varname] %}
+
+The model is specified in ``[appname].[modelname]`` format.
+
+Extended usage::
+
+ {% tags_for_model [model] as [varname] with counts %}
+
+If specified - by providing extra ``with counts`` arguments - adds a
+``count`` attribute to each tag containing the number of instances of
+the given model which have been tagged with it.
+
+Examples::
+
+ {% tags_for_model products.Widget as widget_tags %}
+ {% tags_for_model products.Widget as widget_tags with counts %}
+
+tag_cloud_for_model
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Retrieves a list of ``Tag`` objects for a given model, with tag cloud
+attributes set, and stores them in a context variable.
+
+Usage::
+
+ {% tag_cloud_for_model [model] as [varname] %}
+
+The model is specified in ``[appname].[modelname]`` format.
+
+Extended usage::
+
+ {% tag_cloud_for_model [model] as [varname] with [options] %}
+
+Extra options can be provided after an optional ``with`` argument, with
+each option being specified in ``[name]=[value]`` format. Valid extra
+options are:
+
+ ``steps``
+ Integer. Defines the range of font sizes.
+
+ ``min_count``
+ Integer. Defines the minimum number of times a tag must have
+ been used to appear in the cloud.
+
+ ``distribution``
+ One of ``linear`` or ``log``. Defines the font-size
+ distribution algorithm to use when generating the tag cloud.
+
+Examples::
+
+ {% tag_cloud_for_model products.Widget as widget_tags %}
+ {% tag_cloud_for_model products.Widget as widget_tags with steps=9 min_count=3 distribution=log %}
+
+tags_for_object
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Retrieves a list of ``Tag`` objects associated with an object and stores
+them in a context variable.
+
+Usage::
+
+ {% tags_for_object [object] as [varname] %}
+
+Example::
+
+ {% tags_for_object foo_object as tag_list %}
+
+tagged_objects
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Retrieves a list of instances of a given model which are tagged with a
+given ``Tag`` and stores them in a context variable.
+
+Usage::
+
+ {% tagged_objects [tag] in [model] as [varname] %}
+
+The model is specified in ``[appname].[modelname]`` format.
+
+The tag must be an instance of a ``Tag``, not the name of a tag.
+

-A generic tagging application for `Django`_ projects, which allows
-association of a number of tags with any Django model instance and makes
-retrieval of tags simple.
-
-.. _`Django`: http://www.djangoproject.com
-
-.. contents::
- :depth: 3
-
-
-Installation
-============
-
-Installing an official release
-------------------------------
-
-Official releases are made available from
-http://code.google.com/p/django-tagging/
-
-Source distribution
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Download the .zip distribution file and unpack it. Inside is a script
-named ``setup.py``. Enter this command::
-
- python setup.py install
-
-...and the package will install automatically.

-distribution file and launch it to install the application.
-
-An uninstaller will also be created, accessible through Add/Remove
-Programs in your Control Panel.
-
-Installing the development version
-----------------------------------
-
-Alternatively, if you'd like to update Django Tagging occasionally to pick
-up the latest bug fixes and enhancements before they make it into an
-offical release, perform a `Subversion`_ checkout instead. The following
-command will check the application's development branch out to an
-``mptt-trunk`` directory::
-
- svn checkout http://django-tagging.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ tagging-trunk
-
-Add the resulting folder to your `PYTHONPATH`_ or symlink (`junction`_,
-if you're on Windows) the ``tagging`` directory inside it into a
-directory which is on your PYTHONPATH, such as your Python
-installation's ``site-packages`` directory.
-
-You can verify that the application is available on your PYTHONPATH by
-opening a Python interpreter and entering the following commands::
-
- >>> import tagging
- >>> tagging.VERSION
- (0, 2, 'pre')
-
-When you want to update your copy of the Django Tagging source code, run
-the command ``svn update`` from within the ``tagging-trunk`` directory.
-
-.. caution::
-
- The development version may contain bugs which are not present in the
- release version and introduce backwards-incompatible changes.
-
- If you're tracking trunk, keep an eye on the `CHANGELOG`_ and the
- `backwards-incompatible changes wiki page`_ before you update your
- copy of the source code.
-
-.. _`Subversion`: http://subversion.tigris.org
-.. _`PYTHONPATH`: http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html#SECTION008110000000000000000

-.. _`backwards-incompatible changes wiki page`: http://code.google.com/p/django-tagging/wiki/BackwardsIncompatibleChanges
-
-Using Django Tagging in your applications
------------------------------------------
-
-Once you've installed Django Tagging and want to use it in your Django
-applications, do the following:
-
- 1. Put ``'tagging'`` in your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting.
- 2. Run the command ``manage.py syncdb``.
-
-The ``syncdb`` command creates the necessary database tables and
-creates permission objects for all installed apps that need them.
-
-That's it!
-
-
-Settings
-========
-
-Some of Django Tagging's behaviour may be configured by adding the
-appropriate settings to your project's settings file.
-
-The following settings are available:
-
-FORCE_LOWERCASE_TAGS
---------------------
-
-Default: ``False``
-
-A boolean that turns on/off forcing of all tag names to lowercase before
-they are saved to the database.
-
-MAX_TAG_LENGTH
---------------
-
-Default: ``50``
-
-An integer which specifies the maxiumum length which any tag is allowed
-to have. This is used for validation in the ``django.contrib.admin``
-application and in any ``newforms`` forms automatically generated using
-``ModelForm``.
-
-
-Tags
-====
-
-Tags are represented by the ``Tag`` model, which lives in the
-``tagging.models`` module.
-
-API reference
--------------
-
-Fields
-~~~~~~
-
-``Tag`` objects have the following fields:
-
- * ``name`` -- The name of the tag. This is a unique value.
-
-Manager functions
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The ``Tag`` model has a custom manager which has the following helper
-functions:
-
- * ``update_tags(obj, tag_names)`` -- updates tags associated with an
- object.
-
- ``tag_names`` is a string containing tag names with which ``obj``
- should be tagged.
-
- If ``tag_names`` is ``None`` or ``''``, the object's tags will be
- cleared.
-
- * ``add_tag(obj, tag_name)`` -- associates a tag with an an object.
-
- ``tag_name`` is a string containing a tag name with which ``obj``
- should be tagged.
-
- * ``get_for_object(obj)`` -- returns a ``QuerySet`` containing all
- ``Tag`` objects associated with ``obj``.
-
- * ``usage_for_model(Model, counts=False, min_count=None, filters=None)``
- -- returns a list of ``Tag`` objects associated with instances of
- ``Model``.
-
- If ``counts`` is ``True``, a ``count`` attribute will be added to
- each tag, indicating how many times it has been associated with
- instances of ``Model``.
-
- If ``min_count`` is given, only tags which have a ``count`` greater
- than or equal to ``min_count`` will be returned. Passing a value
- for ``min_count`` implies ``counts=True``.
-
- To limit the tags (and counts, if specified) returned to those used
- by a subset of the model's instances, pass a dictionary of field
- lookups to be applied to ``Model`` as the ``filters`` argument.
-
- * ``related_for_model(tags, Model, counts=False, min_count=None)``
- -- returns a list of tags related to a given list of tags - that
- is, other tags used by items which have all the given tags.
-
- If ``counts`` is ``True``, a ``count`` attribute will be added to
- each tag, indicating the number of items which have it in addition
- to the given list of tags.
-
- If ``min_count`` is given, only tags which have a ``count`` greater
- than or equal to ``min_count`` will be returned. Passing a value
- for ``min_count`` implies ``counts=True``.
-
- * ``cloud_for_model(Model, steps=4, distribution=LOGARITHMIC,
- filters=None, min_count=None)`` -- returns a list of the
- distinct ``Tag`` objects associated with instances of ``Model``,
- each having a ``count`` attribute as above and an additional
- ``font_size`` attribute, for use in creation of a tag cloud (a
- type of weighted list).
-
- ``steps`` defines the number of font sizes available -
- ``font_size`` may be an integer between ``1`` and ``steps``,
- inclusive.
-
- ``distribution`` defines the type of font size distribution
- algorithm which will be used - logarithmic or linear. It must be
- either ``tagging.utils.LOGARITHMIC`` or ``tagging.utils.LINEAR``.
-
- To limit the tags displayed in the cloud to those associated
- with a subset of the Model's instances, pass a dictionary of
- field lookups to be applied to the given Model as the ``filters``
- argument.
-
- To limit the tags displayed in the cloud to those with a ``count``
- greater than or equal to ``min_count``, pass a value for the
- ``min_count`` argument.
-
-Basic usage
------------
-
-Tag input
-~~~~~~~~~
-
-Tag input from users is treated as follows:
-
-* If the tag input doesn't contain any commas or double quotes, it is
- simply treated as a space-delimited list of tag names.
-
-* If the tag input does contain either of these characters, we parse the
- input like so:
-
- * Groups of characters which appear between double quotes take
- precedence as multi-word tags (so double quoted tag names may
- contain commas). An unclosed double quote will be ignored.
-
- * For the remaining input, if there are any unquoted commas in the
- input, the remainder will be treated as comma-delimited.
- Otherwise, it will be treated as space-delimited.
-
-Examples:
-
-====================== ======================================= ================================================
-Tag input Resulting tag names Notes
-====================== ======================================= ================================================
-apple ball cat [``apple``], [``ball``], [``cat``] No commas or quotes, so space delimited
-apple, ball cat [``apple``], [``ball cat``] Comma present, so comma delimited
-"apple, ball" cat dog [``apple, ball``], [``cat``], [``dog``] All commas are quoted, so space delimited
-"apple, ball", cat dog [``apple, ball``], [``cat dog``] Contains an unquoted comma, so comma delimited
-apple "ball cat" dog [``apple``], [``ball cat``], [``dog``] No commas, so space delimited
-"apple" "ball dog [``apple``], [``ball``], [``dog``] Unclosed double quote is ignored
-====================== ======================================= ================================================
-
-Tagging objects and retrieving an object's tags
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Objects may be tagged using the ``update_tags`` helper function::
-
- >>> from shop.apps.products.models import Widget
- >>> from tagging.models import Tag
- >>> widget = Widget.objects.get(pk=1)
- >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget, 'house thing')
-
-Retrieve tags for an object using the ``get_for_object`` helper
-function::
-
- >>> Tag.objects.get_for_object(widget)
- [<Tag: house>, <Tag: thing>]
-
-Tags are created, associated and unassociated accordingly when you use
-``update_tags`` and ``add_tags``::
-
- >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget, 'house monkey')
- >>> Tag.objects.get_for_object(widget)
- [<Tag: house>, <Tag: monkey>]
- >>> Tag.objects.add_tag(widget, 'tiles')
- >>> Tag.objects.get_for_object(widget)
- [<Tag: house>, <Tag: monkey>, <Tag: tiles>]
-
-Clear an object's tags by passing ``None`` or ``''`` to
-``update_tags``::
-
- >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget, None)
- >>> Tag.objects.get_for_object(widget)
- []
-
-Retrieving tags used by a particular model
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-To retrieve all tags used for a particular model, use the
-``get_for_model`` helper function::
-
- >>> widget1 = Widget.objects.get(pk=1)
- >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget1, 'house thing')
- >>> widget2 = Widget.objects.get(pk=2)
- >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget2, 'cheese toast house')
- >>> Tag.objects.usage_for_model(Widget)
- [<Tag: cheese>, <Tag: house>, <Tag: thing>, <Tag: toast>]
-
-To get a count of how many times each tag was used for a particular
-model, pass in ``True`` for the ``counts`` argument::
-
- >>> tags = Tag.objects.usage_for_model(Widget, counts=True)
- >>> [(tag.name, tag.count) for tag in tags]
- [('cheese', 1), ('house', 2), ('thing', 1), ('toast', 1)]
-
-To get counts and limit the tags returned to those with counts above a
-certain size, pass in a ``min_count`` argument::
-
- >>> tags = Tag.objects.usage_for_model(Widget, min_count=2)
- >>> [(tag.name, tag.count) for tag in tags]
- [('house', 2)]
-
-You can also specify a dictionary of `field lookups`_ to be used to
-restrict the tags and counts returned based on a subset of the
-model's instances. For example, the following would retrieve all tags
-used on Widgets created by a user named Alan which have a size
-greater than 99::
-
- >>> Tag.objects.usage_for_model(Widget, filters=dict(size__gt=99, user__username='Alan'))
-
-.. _`field lookups`: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-api/#field-lookups
-
-
-Tagged items
-============
-
-The relationship between a ``Tag`` and an object is represented by
-the ``TaggedItem`` model, which lives in the ``tagging.models``
-module.
-
-API reference
--------------
-
-Fields
-~~~~~~
-
-``TaggedItem`` objects have the following fields:
-
- * ``tag`` -- The ``Tag`` an object is associated with.
- * ``content_type`` -- The ``ContentType`` of the associated model
- instance.
- * ``object_id`` -- The id of the associated object.
- * ``object`` -- The associated object itself, accessible via the
- Generic Relations API.
-
-Manager functions
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The ``TaggedItem`` model has a custom manager which has the following
-helper functions:
-
- * ``get_by_model(Model, tag)`` -- If ``tag`` is an instance of a
- ``Tag``, returns a ``QuerySet`` containing all instances of
- ``Model`` which are tagged with it.
-
- If ``tag`` is a list of tags, returns a ``QuerySet`` containing
- all instances of ``Model`` which are tagged with every tag in
- the list.
-
- * ``get_intersection_by_model(Model, tags)`` -- Returns a
- ``QuerySet`` containing all instances of ``Model`` which are
- tagged with every tag in the list.
-
- ``get_by_model`` will call this function behind the scenes when
- you pass it a list, so it's recommended that you use
- ``get_by_model`` instead of calling this function directly.
-
- * ``get_union_by_model(Model, tags)`` -- Returns a ``QuerySet``
- containing all instances of ``Model`` which are tagged with any tag
- in the list.
-
- * ``get_related(obj, Model, num=None)`` - Returns instances of
- ``Model`` which share tags with the model instance ``obj``,
- ordered by the number of shared tags in descending order.
-
- If ``num`` is given, a maximum of ``num`` instances will be
- returned.
-
-Basic usage
------------
-
-Retrieving tagged objects
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Objects may be retrieved based on their tags using the ``get_by_model``
-manager method::
-
- >>> from shop.apps.products.models import Widget
- >>> from tagging.models import Tag
- >>> house_tag = Tag.objects.get(name='house')
- >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, house_tag)
- [<Widget: pk=1>, <Widget: pk=2>]
-
-Passing a list of tags to ``get_by_model`` returns an intersection of
-objects which have those tags, i.e. tag1 AND tag2 ... AND tagN::
-
- >>> thing_tag = Tag.objects.get(name='thing')
- >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, [house_tag, thing_tag])
- [<Widget: pk=1>]
-
-Functions which take tags are flexible when it comes to tag input::
-
- >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, Tag.objects.filter(name__in=['house', 'thing']))
- [<Widget: pk=1>]
- >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, 'house thing')
- [<Widget: pk=1>]
- >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, ['house', 'thing'])
- [<Widget: pk=1>]
-
-
-Utilities
-=========
-
-Tag-related utility functions are defined in the ``tagging.utils``
-module:
-
-``parse_tag_input(input)``
---------------------------
-
-Parses tag input, with multiple word input being activated and
-delineated by commas and double quotes. Quotes take precedence, so they
-may contain commas.
-
-Returns a sorted list of unique tag names.
-
-See `tag input`_ for more details.
-
-``edit_string_for_tags(tags)``
-------------------------------
-Given list of ``Tag`` instances, creates a string representation of the
-list suitable for editing by the user, such that submitting the given
-string representation back without changing it will give the same list
-of tags.
-
-Tag names which contain commas will be double quoted.
-
-If any tag name which isn't being quoted contains whitespace, the
-resulting string of tag names will be comma-delimited, otherwise it will
-be space-delimited.
-
-``get_tag_list(tags)``
-----------------------
-
-Utility function for accepting tag input in a flexible manner.
-
-If a ``Tag`` object is given, it will be returned in a list as its
-single occupant.
-
-If given, the tag names in the following will be used to create a
-``Tag`` ``QuerySet``:
-
- * A string, which may contain multiple tag names.
- * A list or tuple of strings corresponding to tag names.
- * A list or tuple of integers corresponding to tag ids.
-
-If given, the following will be returned as-is:
-
- * A list or tuple of ``Tag`` objects.
- * A ``Tag`` ``QuerySet``.
-
-``calculate_cloud(tags, steps=4, distribution=tagging.utils.LOGARITHMIC)``
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Add a ``font_size`` attribute to each tag according to the frequency of
-its use, as indicated by its ``count`` attribute.
-
-``steps`` defines the range of font sizes - ``font_size`` will be an
-integer between 1 and ``steps`` (inclusive).
-
-``distribution`` defines the type of font size distribution algorithm
-which will be used - logarithmic or linear. It must be one of
-``tagging.utils.LOGARITHMIC`` or ``tagging.utils.LINEAR``.
-
-
-Model Fields
-============
-
-The ``tagging.fields`` module contains fields which make it easy to
-integrate tagging into your models and into the
-``django.contrib.admin`` application.
-
-Field types
------------
-
-``TagField``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-A ``CharField`` that actually works as a relationship to tags "under
-the hood".
-
-Using this example model::
-
- class Link(models.Model):
- ...
- tags = TagField()
-
-Setting tags::
-
- >>> l = Link.objects.get(...)
- >>> l.tags = 'tag1 tag2 tag3'
-
-Getting tags for an instance::
-
- >>> l.tags
- 'tag1 tag2 tag3'
-
-Getting tags for a model - i.e. all tags used by all instances of the
-model::
-
- >>> Link.tags
- 'tag1 tag2 tag3 tag4 tag5'
-
-This field will also validate that it has been given a valid list of
-tag names, separated by a single comma, a single space or a comma
-followed by a space, using the ``isTagList`` validator from
-``tagging.validators``.
-
-
-Form fields
-===========
-
-The ``tagging.forms`` module contains a ``Field`` for use with
-Django's `newforms library`_ which takes care of validating tag name
-input when used in your forms.
-
-.. _`newforms library`: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/newforms/
-
-Field types
------------
-
-``TagField``
-~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-A form ``Field`` which is displayed as a single-line text input, which
-validates that the input it receives is a valid list of tag names.
-
-When you generate a form for one of your models automatically, using
-the ``ModelForm`` class provided by newforms, any
-``tagging.fields.TagField`` fields in your model will automatically be
-represented by a ``tagging.forms.TagField`` in the generated form.
-
-
-Simplified tagging and retrieval of tags with properties
-========================================================
-
-If you're not using ``TagField``, a useful method for simplifying
-tagging and retrieval of tags for your models is to set up a
-property::
-
- from django.db import models
- from tagging.models import Tag
-
- class MyModel(models.Model):
- name = models.CharField(maxlength=100)
- tag_list = models.CharField(maxlength=255)
-
- def save(self):
- super(MyModel, self).save()
- self.tags = self.tag_list
-
- def _get_tags(self):
- return Tag.objects.get_for_object(self)
-
- def _set_tags(self, tag_list):
- Tag.objects.update_tags(self, tag_list)
-
- tags = property(_get_tags, _set_tags)
-
- def __unicode__(self):
- return self.name
-
-Once you've set this up, you can access and set tags in a fairly
-natural way::
-
- >>> obj = MyModel.objects.get(pk=1)
- >>> obj.tags = 'foo bar'
- >>> obj.tags
- [<Tag: bar>, <Tag: foo>]
-
-Remember that ``obj.tags`` will return a ``QuerySet``, so you can
-perform further filtering on it, should you need to.
-
-
-Generic views
-=============
-
-The ``tagging.views`` module contains views to handle simple cases of
-common display logic related to tagging.
-
-``tagging.views.tagged_object_list``
-------------------------------------
-
-**Description:**
-
-A view that displays a list of objects for a given model which have a
-given tag. This is a thin wrapper around the
-``django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list`` view, which takes a
-model and a tag as its arguments (in addition to the other optional
-arguments supported by ``object_list``), building the appropriate
-``QuerySet`` for you instead of expecting one to be passed in.
-
-**Required arguments:**
-
- * ``model``: The Django model class of the object that will be
- listed.
-
- * ``tag``: The tag which objects of the given model must have in
- order to be listed.
-
-**Optional arguments:**
-
-Please refer to the `object_list documentation`_ for additional optional
-arguments which may be given.
-
- * ``related_tags``: If ``True``, a ``related_tags`` context variable
- will also contain tags related to the given tag for the given
- model.
-
- * ``related_tag_counts``: If ``True`` and ``related_tags`` is
- ``True``, each related tag will have a ``count`` attribute
- indicating the number of items which have it in addition to the
- given tag.
-
-**Template context:**
-
-Please refer to the `object_list documentation`_ for additional
-template context variables which may be provided.
-
- * ``tag``: The ``Tag`` instance for the given tag.
-
-.. _`object_list documentation`: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/generic_views/#django-views-generic-list-detail-object-list
-
-Example usage
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-The following sample URLconf demonstrates using this generic view to
-list items of a particular model class which have a given tag::
-
- from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
- from tagging.views import tagged_object_list
- from shop.apps.products.models import Widget
-
- urlpatterns = patterns('',
- url(r'^widgets/tag/(?P<tag>[^/]+)/$',
- tagged_object_list,
- dict(model=Widget, paginate_by=10, allow_empty=True,
- template_object_name='widget'),
- name='widget_tag_detail'),
- )
-
-
-Template tags
-=============
-
-The ``tagging.templatetags.tagging_tags`` module defines a number of
-template tags which may be used to work with tags.
-
-Tag reference
--------------
-
-tags_for_model
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Retrieves a list of ``Tag`` objects associated with a given model and
-stores them in a context variable.
-
-Usage::
-
- {% tags_for_model [model] as [varname] %}
-
-The model is specified in ``[appname].[modelname]`` format.
-
-Extended usage::
-
- {% tags_for_model [model] as [varname] with counts %}
-
-If specified - by providing extra ``with counts`` arguments - adds a
-``count`` attribute to each tag containing the number of instances of
-the given model which have been tagged with it.
-
-Examples::
-
- {% tags_for_model products.Widget as widget_tags %}
- {% tags_for_model products.Widget as widget_tags with counts %}
-
-tag_cloud_for_model
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Retrieves a list of ``Tag`` objects for a given model, with tag cloud
-attributes set, and stores them in a context variable.
-
-Usage::
-
- {% tag_cloud_for_model [model] as [varname] %}
-
-The model is specified in ``[appname].[modelname]`` format.
-
-Extended usage::
-
- {% tag_cloud_for_model [model] as [varname] with [options] %}
-
-Extra options can be provided after an optional ``with`` argument, with
-each option being specified in ``[name]=[value]`` format. Valid extra
-options are:
-
- ``steps``
- Integer. Defines the range of font sizes.
-
- ``min_count``
- Integer. Defines the minimum number of times a tag must have
- been used to appear in the cloud.
-
- ``distribution``
- One of ``linear`` or ``log``. Defines the font-size
- distribution algorithm to use when generating the tag cloud.
-
-Examples::
-
- {% tag_cloud_for_model products.Widget as widget_tags %}
- {% tag_cloud_for_model products.Widget as widget_tags with steps=9 min_count=3 distribution=log %}
-
-tags_for_object
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Retrieves a list of ``Tag`` objects associated with an object and stores
-them in a context variable.
-
-Usage::
-
- {% tags_for_object [object] as [varname] %}
-
-Example::
-
- {% tags_for_object foo_object as tag_list %}
-
-tagged_objects
-~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-
-Retrieves a list of instances of a given model which are tagged with a
-given ``Tag`` and stores them in a context variable.

+Django Tagging
+==============
+
+A generic tagging application for `Django`_ projects, which allows
+association of a number of tags with any Django model instance and makes
+retrieval of tags simple.
+
+.. _`Django`: http://www.djangoproject.com
+
+.. contents::
+ :depth: 3
+
+
+Installation
+============
+
+Installing an official release
+------------------------------
+
+Official releases are made available from
+http://code.google.com/p/django-tagging/
+
+Source distribution
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Download the .zip distribution file and unpack it. Inside is a script
+named ``setup.py``. Enter this command::
+
+ python setup.py install
+
+...and the package will install automatically.
+
+Windows installer
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A Windows installer is also made available - download the .exe
+distribution file and launch it to install the application.
+
+An uninstaller will also be created, accessible through Add/Remove
+Programs in your Control Panel.
+
+Installing the development version
+----------------------------------
+
+Alternatively, if you'd like to update Django Tagging occasionally to pick
+up the latest bug fixes and enhancements before they make it into an
+official release, perform a `Subversion`_ checkout instead. The following
+command will check the application's development branch out to an
+``tagging-trunk`` directory::
+
+ svn checkout http://django-tagging.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ tagging-trunk
+
+Add the resulting folder to your `PYTHONPATH`_ or symlink (`junction`_,
+if you're on Windows) the ``tagging`` directory inside it into a
+directory which is on your PYTHONPATH, such as your Python
+installation's ``site-packages`` directory.
+
+You can verify that the application is available on your PYTHONPATH by
+opening a Python interpreter and entering the following commands::
+
+ >>> import tagging
+ >>> tagging.VERSION
+ (0, 3, 'pre')
+
+When you want to update your copy of the Django Tagging source code, run
+the command ``svn update`` from within the ``tagging-trunk`` directory.
+
+.. caution::
+
+ The development version may contain bugs which are not present in the
+ release version and introduce backwards-incompatible changes.
+
+ If you're tracking trunk, keep an eye on the `CHANGELOG`_ and the
+ `backwards-incompatible changes wiki page`_ before you update your
+ copy of the source code.
+
+.. _`Subversion`: http://subversion.tigris.org
+.. _`PYTHONPATH`: http://docs.python.org/tut/node8.html#SECTION008110000000000000000
+.. _`junction`: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/FileAndDisk/Junction.mspx
+.. _`CHANGELOG`: http://django-tagging.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/CHANGELOG.txt
+.. _`backwards-incompatible changes wiki page`: http://code.google.com/p/django-tagging/wiki/BackwardsIncompatibleChanges
+
+Using Django Tagging in your applications
+-----------------------------------------
+
+Once you've installed Django Tagging and want to use it in your Django
+applications, do the following:
+
+ 1. Put ``'tagging'`` in your ``INSTALLED_APPS`` setting.
+ 2. Run the command ``manage.py syncdb``.
+
+The ``syncdb`` command creates the necessary database tables and
+creates permission objects for all installed apps that need them.
+
+That's it!
+
+
+Settings
+========
+
+Some of the application's behaviour can be configured by adding the
+appropriate settings to your project's settings file.
+
+The following settings are available:
+
+FORCE_LOWERCASE_TAGS
+--------------------
+
+Default: ``False``
+
+A boolean that turns on/off forcing of all tag names to lowercase before
+they are saved to the database.
+
+MAX_TAG_LENGTH
+--------------
+
+Default: ``50``
+
+An integer which specifies the maximum length which any tag is allowed
+to have. This is used for validation in the ``django.contrib.admin``
+application and in any ``newforms`` forms automatically generated using
+``ModelForm``.
+
+
+Registering your models
+=======================
+
+**New in developement version**
+
+Your Django models can be registered with the tagging application to
+access some additional tagging-related features.
+
+.. note::
+
+ You don't *have* to register your models in order to use them with
+ the tagging application - many of the features added by registration
+ are just convenience wrappers around the tagging API provided by the
+ ``Tag`` and ``TaggedItem`` models and their managers, as documented
+ further below.
+
+The ``register`` function
+-------------------------
+
+To register a model, import the ``tagging`` module and call its
+``register`` function, like so::
+
+ from django.db import models
+
+ import tagging
+
+ class Widget(models.Model):
+ name = models.CharField(max_length=50)
+
+ tagging.register(Widget)
+
+The following argument is required:
+
+``model``
+ The model class to be registered.
+
+ An exception will be raised if you attempt to register the same class
+ more than once.
+
+The following arguments are optional, with some recommended defaults -
+take care to specify different attribute names if the defaults clash
+with your model class' definition:
+
+``tag_descriptor_attr``
+ The name of an attribute in the model class which will hold a tag
+ descriptor for the model. Default: ``'tags'``
+
+ See `TagDescriptor`_ below for details about the use of this
+ descriptor.
+
+``tagged_item_manger_attr``
+ The name of an attribute in the model class which will hold a custom
+ manager for accessing tagged items for the model. Default:
+ ``'tagged'``.
+
+ See `ModelTaggedItemManager`_ below for details about the use of this
+ manager.
+
+``TagDescriptor``
+-----------------
+
+When accessed through the model class itself, this descriptor will return
+a ``ModelTagManager`` for the model. See `ModelTagManager`_ below for
+more details about its use.
+
+When accessed through a model instance, this descriptor provides a handy
+means of retrieving, updating and deleting the instance's tags. For
+example::
+
+ >>> widget = Widget.objects.create(name='Testing descriptor')
+ >>> widget.tags
+ []
+ >>> widget.tags = 'toast, melted cheese, butter'
+ >>> widget.tags
+ [<Tag: butter>, <Tag: melted cheese>, <Tag: toast>]
+ >>> del widget.tags
+ >>> widget.tags
+ []
+
+``ModelTagManager``
+-------------------
+
+A manager for retrieving tags used by a particular model.
+
+Defines the following methods:
+
+* ``get_query_set()`` -- as this method is redefined, any ``QuerySets``
+ created by this model will be initially restricted to contain the
+ distinct tags used by all the model's instances.
+
+* ``cloud(*args, **kwargs)`` -- creates a list of tags used by the
+ model's instances, with ``count`` and ``font_size`` attributes set for
+ use in displaying a tag cloud.
+
+ See the documentation on ``Tag``'s manager's `cloud_for_model method`_
+ for information on additional arguments which can be given.
+
+* ``related(self, tags, *args, **kwargs)`` -- creates a list of tags
+ used by the model's instances, which are also used by all instance
+ which have the given ``tags``.
+
+ See the documentation on ``Tag``'s manager's
+ `related_for_model method`_ for information on additional arguments
+ which can be given.
+
+* ``usage(self, *args, **kwargs))`` -- creates a list of tags used by
+ the model's instances, with optional usages counts, restriction based
+ on usage counts and restriction of the model instances from which
+ usage and counts are determined.
+
+ See the documentation on ``Tag``'s manager's `usage_for_model method`_
+ for information on additional arguments which can be given.
+
+Example usage::
+
+ # Create a ``QuerySet`` of tags used by Widget instances
+ Widget.tags.all()
+
+ # Retrieve a list of tags used by Widget instances with usage counts
+ Widget.tags.usage(counts=True)
+
+ # Retrieve tags used by instances of WIdget which are also tagged with
+ # 'cheese' and 'toast'
+ Widget.tags.related(['cheese', 'toast'], counts=True, min_count=3)
+
+``ModelTaggedItemManager``
+--------------------------
+
+A manager for retrieving model instance for a particular model, based on
+their tags.
+
+* ``related_to(obj, queryset=None, num=None)`` -- creates a list
+ of model instances which are related to ``obj``, based on its tags. If
+ a ``queryset`` argument is provided, it will be used to restrict the
+ resulting list of model instances.
+
+ If ``num`` is given, a maximum of ``num`` instances will be returned.
+
+* ``with_all(tags, queryset=None)`` -- creates a ``QuerySet`` containing
+ model instances which are tagged with *all* the given tags. If a
+ ``queryset`` argument is provided, it will be used as the basis for
+ the resulting ``QuerySet``.
+
+* ``with_any(tags, queryset=None)`` -- creates a ``QuerySet`` containing model
+ instances which are tagged with *any* the given tags. If a ``queryset``
+ argument is provided, it will be used as the basis for the resulting
+ ``QuerySet``.
+
+
+Tags
+====
+
+Tags are represented by the ``Tag`` model, which lives in the
+``tagging.models`` module.
+
+API reference
+-------------
+
+Fields
+~~~~~~
+
+``Tag`` objects have the following fields:
+
+* ``name`` -- The name of the tag. This is a unique value.
+
+Manager functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``Tag`` model has a custom manager which has the following helper
+methods:
+
+* ``update_tags(obj, tag_names)`` -- updates tags associated with an
+ object.
+
+ ``tag_names`` is a string containing tag names with which ``obj``
+ should be tagged.
+
+ If ``tag_names`` is ``None`` or ``''``, the object's tags will be
+ cleared.
+
+* ``add_tag(obj, tag_name)`` -- associates a tag with an an object.
+
+ ``tag_name`` is a string containing a tag name with which ``obj``
+ should be tagged.
+
+* ``get_for_object(obj)`` -- returns a ``QuerySet`` containing all
+ ``Tag`` objects associated with ``obj``.
+
+.. _`usage_for_model method`:
+
+* ``usage_for_model(model, counts=False, min_count=None, filters=None)``
+ -- returns a list of ``Tag`` objects associated with instances of
+ ``model``.
+
+ If ``counts`` is ``True``, a ``count`` attribute will be added to each
+ tag, indicating how many times it has been associated with instances
+ of ``model``.
+
+ If ``min_count`` is given, only tags which have a ``count`` greater
+ than or equal to ``min_count`` will be returned. Passing a value for
+ ``min_count`` implies ``counts=True``.
+
+ To limit the tags (and counts, if specified) returned to those used by
+ a subset of the model's instances, pass a dictionary of field lookups
+ to be applied to ``model`` as the ``filters`` argument.
+
+.. _`related_for_model method`:
+
+* ``related_for_model(tags, Model, counts=False, min_count=None)``
+ -- returns a list of tags related to a given list of tags - that is,
+ other tags used by items which have all the given tags.
+
+ If ``counts`` is ``True``, a ``count`` attribute will be added to each
+ tag, indicating the number of items which have it in addition to the
+ given list of tags.
+
+ If ``min_count`` is given, only tags which have a ``count`` greater
+ than or equal to ``min_count`` will be returned. Passing a value for
+ ``min_count`` implies ``counts=True``.
+
+.. _`cloud_for_model method`:
+
+* ``cloud_for_model(Model, steps=4, distribution=LOGARITHMIC,
+ filters=None, min_count=None)`` -- returns a list of the distinct
+ ``Tag`` objects associated with instances of ``Model``, each having a
+ ``count`` attribute as above and an additional ``font_size``
+ attribute, for use in creation of a tag cloud (a type of weighted
+ list).
+
+ ``steps`` defines the number of font sizes available - ``font_size``
+ may be an integer between ``1`` and ``steps``, inclusive.
+
+ ``distribution`` defines the type of font size distribution algorithm
+ which will be used - logarithmic or linear. It must be either
+ ``tagging.utils.LOGARITHMIC`` or ``tagging.utils.LINEAR``.
+
+ To limit the tags displayed in the cloud to those associated with a
+ subset of the Model's instances, pass a dictionary of field lookups to
+ be applied to the given Model as the ``filters`` argument.
+
+ To limit the tags displayed in the cloud to those with a ``count``
+ greater than or equal to ``min_count``, pass a value for the
+ ``min_count`` argument.
+
+**New in development version**
+
+* ``usage_for_queryset(queryset, counts=False, min_count=None)`` --
+ Obtains a list of tags associated with instances of a model contained
+ in the given queryset.
+
+ If ``counts`` is True, a ``count`` attribute will be added to each tag,
+ indicating how many times it has been used against the Model class in
+ question.
+
+ If ``min_count`` is given, only tags which have a ``count`` greater
+ than or equal to ``min_count`` will be returned.
+
+ Passing a value for ``min_count`` implies ``counts=True``.
+
+Basic usage
+-----------
+
+Tagging objects and retrieving an object's tags
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Objects may be tagged using the ``update_tags`` helper function::
+
+ >>> from shop.apps.products.models import Widget
+ >>> from tagging.models import Tag
+ >>> widget = Widget.objects.get(pk=1)
+ >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget, 'house thing')
+
+Retrieve tags for an object using the ``get_for_object`` helper
+function::
+
+ >>> Tag.objects.get_for_object(widget)
+ [<Tag: house>, <Tag: thing>]
+
+Tags are created, associated and unassociated accordingly when you use
+``update_tags`` and ``add_tags``::
+
+ >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget, 'house monkey')
+ >>> Tag.objects.get_for_object(widget)
+ [<Tag: house>, <Tag: monkey>]
+ >>> Tag.objects.add_tag(widget, 'tiles')
+ >>> Tag.objects.get_for_object(widget)
+ [<Tag: house>, <Tag: monkey>, <Tag: tiles>]
+
+Clear an object's tags by passing ``None`` or ``''`` to
+``update_tags``::
+
+ >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget, None)
+ >>> Tag.objects.get_for_object(widget)
+ []
+
+Retrieving tags used by a particular model
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+To retrieve all tags used for a particular model, use the
+``get_for_model`` helper function::
+
+ >>> widget1 = Widget.objects.get(pk=1)
+ >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget1, 'house thing')
+ >>> widget2 = Widget.objects.get(pk=2)
+ >>> Tag.objects.update_tags(widget2, 'cheese toast house')
+ >>> Tag.objects.usage_for_model(Widget)
+ [<Tag: cheese>, <Tag: house>, <Tag: thing>, <Tag: toast>]
+
+To get a count of how many times each tag was used for a particular
+model, pass in ``True`` for the ``counts`` argument::
+
+ >>> tags = Tag.objects.usage_for_model(Widget, counts=True)
+ >>> [(tag.name, tag.count) for tag in tags]
+ [('cheese', 1), ('house', 2), ('thing', 1), ('toast', 1)]
+
+To get counts and limit the tags returned to those with counts above a
+certain size, pass in a ``min_count`` argument::
+
+ >>> tags = Tag.objects.usage_for_model(Widget, min_count=2)
+ >>> [(tag.name, tag.count) for tag in tags]
+ [('house', 2)]
+
+You can also specify a dictionary of `field lookups`_ to be used to
+restrict the tags and counts returned based on a subset of the
+model's instances. For example, the following would retrieve all tags
+used on Widgets created by a user named Alan which have a size
+greater than 99::
+
+ >>> Tag.objects.usage_for_model(Widget, filters=dict(size__gt=99, user__username='Alan'))
+
+.. _`field lookups`: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/db-api/#field-lookups
+
+**New in development version**
+
+The ``usage_for_queryset`` method allows you to pass a pre-filtered
+queryset to be used when determining tag usage::
+
+ >>> Tag.objects.usage_for_queryset(Widget.objects.filter(size__gt=99, user__username='Alan'))
+
+Tag input
+---------
+
+Tag input from users is treated as follows:
+
+* If the input doesn't contain any commas or double quotes, it is simply
+ treated as a space-delimited list of tag names.
+
+* If the input does contain either of these characters, we parse the
+ input like so:
+
+ * Groups of characters which appear between double quotes take
+ precedence as multi-word tags (so double quoted tag names may
+ contain commas). An unclosed double quote will be ignored.
+
+ * For the remaining input, if there are any unquoted commas in the
+ input, the remainder will be treated as comma-delimited. Otherwise,
+ it will be treated as space-delimited.
+
+Examples:
+
+====================== ======================================= ================================================
+Tag input string Resulting tags Notes
+====================== ======================================= ================================================
+apple ball cat [``apple``], [``ball``], [``cat``] No commas, so space delimited
+apple, ball cat [``apple``], [``ball cat``] Comma present, so comma delimited
+"apple, ball" cat dog [``apple, ball``], [``cat``], [``dog``] All commas are quoted, so space delimited
+"apple, ball", cat dog [``apple, ball``], [``cat dog``] Contains an unquoted comma, so comma delimited
+apple "ball cat" dog [``apple``], [``ball cat``], [``dog``] No commas, so space delimited
+"apple" "ball dog [``apple``], [``ball``], [``dog``] Unclosed double quote is ignored
+====================== ======================================= ================================================
+
+
+Tagged items
+============
+
+The relationship between a ``Tag`` and an object is represented by
+the ``TaggedItem`` model, which lives in the ``tagging.models``
+module.
+
+API reference
+-------------
+
+Fields
+~~~~~~
+
+``TaggedItem`` objects have the following fields:
+
+* ``tag`` -- The ``Tag`` an object is associated with.
+* ``content_type`` -- The ``ContentType`` of the associated model
+ instance.
+* ``object_id`` -- The id of the associated object.
+* ``object`` -- The associated object itself, accessible via the
+ Generic Relations API.
+
+Manager functions
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The ``TaggedItem`` model has a custom manager which has the following
+helper methods, which accept either a ``QuerySet`` or a ``Model``
+class as one of their arguments. To restrict the objects which are
+returned, pass in a filtered ``QuerySet`` for this argument:
+
+* ``get_by_model(queryset_or_model, tag)`` -- creates a ``QuerySet``
+ containing instances of the specififed model which are tagged with
+ the given tag or tags.
+
+* ``get_intersection_by_model(queryset_or_model, tags)`` -- creates a
+ ``QuerySet`` containing instances of the specified model which are
+ tagged with every tag in a list of tags.
+
+ ``get_by_model`` will call this function behind the scenes when you
+ pass it a list, so you can use ``get_by_model`` instead of calling
+ this method directly.
+
+* ``get_union_by_model(queryset_or_model, tags)`` -- creates a
+ ``QuerySet`` containing instances of the specified model which are
+ tagged with any tag in a list of tags.
+
+.. _`get_related method`:
+
+* ``get_related(obj, queryset_or_model, num=None)`` - returns a list of
+ instances of the specified model which share tags with the model
+ instance ``obj``, ordered by the number of shared tags in descending
+ order.
+
+ If ``num`` is given, a maximum of ``num`` instances will be returned.
+
+Basic usage
+-----------
+
+Retrieving tagged objects
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Objects may be retrieved based on their tags using the ``get_by_model``
+manager method::
+
+ >>> from shop.apps.products.models import Widget
+ >>> from tagging.models import Tag
+ >>> house_tag = Tag.objects.get(name='house')
+ >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, house_tag)
+ [<Widget: pk=1>, <Widget: pk=2>]
+
+Passing a list of tags to ``get_by_model`` returns an intersection of
+objects which have those tags, i.e. tag1 AND tag2 ... AND tagN::
+
+ >>> thing_tag = Tag.objects.get(name='thing')
+ >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, [house_tag, thing_tag])
+ [<Widget: pk=1>]
+
+Functions which take tags are flexible when it comes to tag input::
+
+ >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, Tag.objects.filter(name__in=['house', 'thing']))
+ [<Widget: pk=1>]
+ >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, 'house thing')
+ [<Widget: pk=1>]
+ >>> TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget, ['house', 'thing'])
+ [<Widget: pk=1>]
+
+Restricting objects returned
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Pass in a ``QuerySet`` to restrict the objects returned::
+
+ # Retrieve all Widgets which have a price less than 50, tagged with 'house'
+ TaggedItem.objects.get_by_model(Widget.objects.filter(price__lt=50), 'house')
+
+ # Retrieve all Widgets which have a name starting with 'a', tagged with any
+ # of 'house', 'garden' or 'water'.
+ TaggedItem.objects.get_union_by_model(Widget.objects.filter(name__startswith='a'),
+ ['house', 'garden', 'water'])
+
+
+Utilities
+=========
+
+Tag-related utility functions are defined in the ``tagging.utils``
+module:
+
+``parse_tag_input(input)``
+--------------------------
+
+Parses tag input, with multiple word input being activated and
+delineated by commas and double quotes. Quotes take precedence, so they
+may contain commas.
+
+Returns a sorted list of unique tag names.
+
+See `tag input`_ for more details.
+
+``edit_string_for_tags(tags)``
+------------------------------
+Given list of ``Tag`` instances, creates a string representation of the
+list suitable for editing by the user, such that submitting the given
+string representation back without changing it will give the same list
+of tags.
+
+Tag names which contain commas will be double quoted.
+
+If any tag name which isn't being quoted contains whitespace, the
+resulting string of tag names will be comma-delimited, otherwise it will
+be space-delimited.
+
+``get_tag_list(tags)``
+----------------------
+
+Utility function for accepting tag input in a flexible manner.
+
+If a ``Tag`` object is given, it will be returned in a list as its
+single occupant.
+
+If given, the tag names in the following will be used to create a
+``Tag`` ``QuerySet``:
+
+ * A string, which may contain multiple tag names.
+ * A list or tuple of strings corresponding to tag names.
+ * A list or tuple of integers corresponding to tag ids.
+
+If given, the following will be returned as-is:
+
+ * A list or tuple of ``Tag`` objects.
+ * A ``Tag`` ``QuerySet``.
+
+``calculate_cloud(tags, steps=4, distribution=tagging.utils.LOGARITHMIC)``
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Add a ``font_size`` attribute to each tag according to the frequency of
+its use, as indicated by its ``count`` attribute.
+
+``steps`` defines the range of font sizes - ``font_size`` will be an
+integer between 1 and ``steps`` (inclusive).
+
+``distribution`` defines the type of font size distribution algorithm
+which will be used - logarithmic or linear. It must be one of
+``tagging.utils.LOGARITHMIC`` or ``tagging.utils.LINEAR``.
+
+
+Model Fields
+============
+
+The ``tagging.fields`` module contains fields which make it easy to
+integrate tagging into your models and into the
+``django.contrib.admin`` application.
+
+Field types
+-----------
+
+``TagField``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A ``CharField`` that actually works as a relationship to tags "under
+the hood".
+
+Using this example model::
+
+ class Link(models.Model):
+ ...
+ tags = TagField()
+
+Setting tags::
+
+ >>> l = Link.objects.get(...)
+ >>> l.tags = 'tag1 tag2 tag3'
+
+Getting tags for an instance::
+
+ >>> l.tags
+ 'tag1 tag2 tag3'
+
+Getting tags for a model - i.e. all tags used by all instances of the
+model::
+
+ >>> Link.tags
+ 'tag1 tag2 tag3 tag4 tag5'
+
+This field will also validate that it has been given a valid list of
+tag names, separated by a single comma, a single space or a comma
+followed by a space, using the ``isTagList`` validator from
+``tagging.validators``.
+
+
+Form fields
+===========
+
+The ``tagging.forms`` module contains a ``Field`` for use with
+Django's `newforms library`_ which takes care of validating tag name
+input when used in your forms.
+
+.. _`newforms library`: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/newforms/
+
+Field types
+-----------
+
+``TagField``
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+A form ``Field`` which is displayed as a single-line text input, which
+validates that the input it receives is a valid list of tag names.
+
+When you generate a form for one of your models automatically, using
+the ``ModelForm`` class provided by newforms, any
+``tagging.fields.TagField`` fields in your model will automatically be
+represented by a ``tagging.forms.TagField`` in the generated form.
+
+
+Generic views
+=============
+
+The ``tagging.views`` module contains views to handle simple cases of
+common display logic related to tagging.
+
+``tagging.views.tagged_object_list``
+------------------------------------
+
+**Description:**
+
+A view that displays a list of objects for a given model which have a
+given tag. This is a thin wrapper around the
+``django.views.generic.list_detail.object_list`` view, which takes a
+model and a tag as its arguments (in addition to the other optional
+arguments supported by ``object_list``), building the appropriate
+``QuerySet`` for you instead of expecting one to be passed in.
+
+**Required arguments:**
+
+ * ``queryset_or_model``: A ``QuerySet`` or Django model class for the
+ object which will be listed.
+
+ * ``tag``: The tag which objects of the given model must have in
+ order to be listed.
+
+**Optional arguments:**
+
+Please refer to the `object_list documentation`_ for additional optional
+arguments which may be given.
+
+ * ``related_tags``: If ``True``, a ``related_tags`` context variable
+ will also contain tags related to the given tag for the given
+ model.
+
+ * ``related_tag_counts``: If ``True`` and ``related_tags`` is
+ ``True``, each related tag will have a ``count`` attribute
+ indicating the number of items which have it in addition to the
+ given tag.
+
+**Template context:**
+
+Please refer to the `object_list documentation`_ for additional
+template context variables which may be provided.
+
+ * ``tag``: The ``Tag`` instance for the given tag.
+
+.. _`object_list documentation`: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/generic_views/#django-views-generic-list-detail-object-list
+
+Example usage
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following sample URLconf demonstrates using this generic view to
+list items of a particular model class which have a given tag::
+
+ from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
+
+ from tagging.views import tagged_object_list
+
+ from shop.apps.products.models import Widget
+
+ urlpatterns = patterns('',
+ url(r'^widgets/tag/(?P<tag>[^/]+)/$',
+ tagged_object_list,
+ dict(model=Widget, paginate_by=10, allow_empty=True,
+ template_object_name='widget'),
+ name='widget_tag_detail'),
+ )
+
+The following sample view demonstrates wrapping this generic view to
+perform filtering of the objects which are listed::
+
+ from myapp.models import People
+
+ from tagging.views import tagged_object_list
+
+ def tagged_people(request, country_code, tag):
+ queryset = People.objects.filter(country__code=country_code)
+ return tagged_object_list(request, queryset, tag, paginate_by=25,
+ allow_empty=True, template_object_name='people')
+
+
+Template tags
+=============
+
+The ``tagging.templatetags.tagging_tags`` module defines a number of
+template tags which may be used to work with tags.
+
+Tag reference
+-------------
+
+tags_for_model
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Retrieves a list of ``Tag`` objects associated with a given model and
+stores them in a context variable.
+
+Usage::
+
+ {% tags_for_model [model] as [varname] %}
+
+The model is specified in ``[appname].[modelname]`` format.
+
+Extended usage::
+
+ {% tags_for_model [model] as [varname] with counts %}
+
+If specified - by providing extra ``with counts`` arguments - adds a
+``count`` attribute to each tag containing the number of instances of
+the given model which have been tagged with it.
+
+Examples::
+
+ {% tags_for_model products.Widget as widget_tags %}
+ {% tags_for_model products.Widget as widget_tags with counts %}
+
+tag_cloud_for_model
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Retrieves a list of ``Tag`` objects for a given model, with tag cloud
+attributes set, and stores them in a context variable.
+
+Usage::
+
+ {% tag_cloud_for_model [model] as [varname] %}
+
+The model is specified in ``[appname].[modelname]`` format.
+
+Extended usage::
+
+ {% tag_cloud_for_model [model] as [varname] with [options] %}
+
+Extra options can be provided after an optional ``with`` argument, with
+each option being specified in ``[name]=[value]`` format. Valid extra
+options are:
+
+ ``steps``
+ Integer. Defines the range of font sizes.
+
+ ``min_count``
+ Integer. Defines the minimum number of times a tag must have
+ been used to appear in the cloud.
+
+ ``distribution``
+ One of ``linear`` or ``log``. Defines the font-size
+ distribution algorithm to use when generating the tag cloud.
+
+Examples::
+
+ {% tag_cloud_for_model products.Widget as widget_tags %}
+ {% tag_cloud_for_model products.Widget as widget_tags with steps=9 min_count=3 distribution=log %}
+
+tags_for_object
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Retrieves a list of ``Tag`` objects associated with an object and stores
+them in a context variable.
+
+Usage::
+
+ {% tags_for_object [object] as [varname] %}
+
+Example::
+
+ {% tags_for_object foo_object as tag_list %}
+
+tagged_objects
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+Retrieves a list of instances of a given model which are tagged with a
+given ``Tag`` and stores them in a context variable.
+
+Usage::
+
+ {% tagged_objects [tag] in [model] as [varname] %}
+
+The model is specified in ``[appname].[modelname]`` format.
+
+The tag must be an instance of a ``Tag``, not the name of a tag.
+
+Example::
+
+ {% tagged_objects comedy_tag in tv.Show as comedies %}
