Description

The torch.nn.modules.transformer documentation says the word_language_model example in this repo is an example of its use. But it seems to instead DIY a transformer and uses that instead. Is this intentional? I would offer my help to write it for torch.nn.modules.transformer but I'm here to learn how to use it.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing word language model example in the pytorch/examples repository (likely under examples/word language model). Compare the current DIY transformer implementation with the official torch.nn.Transformer module. Review the documentation for torch.nn.modules.transformer to understand how to integrate it. Check the issue comments for any additional context or maintainer feedback.
