TypoScript
What is Typoscript? TypoScript is the declarative programming language that drives TYPO3 and allows developers, designers and administrators to configure and harness the full potential and power of TYPO3 and its template engine - Templavoila. TypoScript is similar in function to XSLT. To understand why Typo3 has chosen to use TypoScript vs XSLT Click Here
Do I really need to know TypoScript? the need to know Typoscript depends on what you want to do with TYPO3. For template designers and administrators little TypoScript knowledge is needed than for programmers. In fact no TypoScript knowledge is needed for front end and back end content editors, managers and authors.
This TypoScript section will focus primarily on adding TypoScript code/snippets to the TSconfig field and the Constants/Setup fields for template records as time permits.
