# Using and setting TypoScript {#using-and-setting-typoscript}

See [Introduction into TypoScript](https://docs.typo3.org/permalink/t3tsref:introduction@main) for an introduction to TypoScript and Templating.

TypoScript templates mainly consist of the **Constants** and the **Setup** field.
Each template can include other (static) templates, which can again
define values in their own **Constants** and **Setup** fields.

The TypoScript template configuration can be viewed and edited in the
**Sites > TypoScript** module.
