Description

As a document creator, I may wish to use different types of form input fields so that I can replicate the types of input requested on paper or web forms.
Detail
This relates to #59 and #60. Web form fields can come in various types including: checkbox, date, time, email, number, selecting one of a set of options (radio buttons), selecting one or more of a set of options (select lists), telephone number, single line text, and multiline text. Forms in paper documents may ask for similar types of input. It would give more flexibility if supported by a reading system to be able to offer different types of form controls.
Proposal
Consider which form controls in HTML would make sense to implement in an EBRF file. These are widely used on the web and their functionality would be familiar to users and reading system developers. Even if a reading system does not have web access and does not allow a form to be submitted to a server, saving information locally to the EBNRF package may offer a method of keeping the entered input when the file is closed.
