Note
This version of the guide covers the new PHP-based rendering of Documentation with the TYPO3 Documentation theme.
If the project you are looking at has a file Documentation/guides.xml it is using the new rendering.
Otherwise, consider to migrate the Documentation or head over to the legacy version of this guide: How to document, Sphinx based.
Special characters
Q: What characters can I use?
A: You may enter any Unicode character directly. There is no other way to specify characters. The default encoding of a file is utf-8.
Keep in mind that while you CAN use any Unicode character not all of them will be displayed. In general fonts contain glyphs for common characters only.
