## Installation
```shell
$\text{You can't use 'macro parameter character \#' in math mode}$ python manage.py collectstatic
```
## Usage

All you need now is to import ``CharsLeftArea`` class and override field's widget, for example :
```python
from charsleft_widget import CharsLeftArea

class Form(forms.Form):

field = forms.CharField(max_length=128, widget=CharsLeftArea)
```
Please see `example` application. This application is used to manually test the functionalities of this package. This also serves as a good example.

You need only Django 1.4 or above to run that. It might run on older versions but that is not tested.
