Simple data types

The values you assign to properties in TypoScript are often of a specific format. The following table describes these formats.

For example, if a value is defined as the type "<tag>", you're supposed to supply HTML code. If it is of the type "resource", it's a reference to a file from the resource-field in the template. If the type is "GraphicColor", a color-definition is expected and you should supply an HTML color code or comma-separated RGB-values.
