+================
+Custom Renderers
+================
+
+It is possible to create custom renderers for specific fields. Currently they
+are only used in the object list view, for example to render boolean values
+using icons. Another example would be to customize the rendering of dates.
+
+
+Renderers
+---------
+
+A renderer is a function that accepts a value and the field and returns a HTML
+representation of it. For example, the very simple builtin datetime renderer
+works like this:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def title_renderer(value, field):
+        """Render a string in title case (capitalize every word)."""
+        return unicode(value).title()
+
+In this case the ``field`` argument is not used. Sometimes it useful though:
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    def number_renderer(value, field):
+        """Format a number."""
+        if isinstance(field, models.DecimalField):
+            return formats.number_format(value, field.decimal_places)
+        return formats.number_format(value)
+
+You can create your renderers anywhere in your code, but it is recommended to
+put them in a file called ``renderers.py`` in your project.
+
+
+Using Renderers
+---------------
+
+The renderers can be specified in the Admin2 class using the
+``field_renderers`` attribute. The attribute contains a dictionary that maps a
+field name to a renderer function.
+
+By default, some renderers are automatically applied, for example the boolean
+renderer when processing boolean values. If you want to suppress that renderer,
+you can assign ``None`` to the field in the ``field_renderers`` dictionary.
+
+.. code-block:: python
+
+    class PostAdmin(djadmin2.ModelAdmin2):
+        list_display = ('title', 'body', 'published')
+        field_renderers = {
+            'title': renderers.title_renderer,
+            'published': None,
+        }
+
