What does it do?
----------------

This extension provides a renderer for flexible content elements (FCEs) built with Fluid and TYPO3 core features. It can be used as a user function (``userFunc``) to render a Fluid template
similar to the FLUIDTEMPLATE content object but with some additional features:

* ``$this->cObj->data`` variables will be available directly in the template (no need to prefix them with ``data.``)
* Flexform fields are parsed and all Flexform variables will be directly available in the template
* Flexform sections are supported, which allows to build powerful FCEs with nested structured content

Everything is done with core features, so you don't need TemplaVoilá or other extensions.
