basically you just have to understand what TypoScript really is (see 
[1]) and then you just call all those functions like IMAGE(), FORM(), 
etc from class.tslib_content.php via $this->cObj->IMAGE($conf) for example.

To understand how to use those functions from tslib_cObj, look at this 
example:

$conf = array(
   "file" => "fileadmin/irgendwas.jpg",
   "width" => "200",
   "height" => "300",
);
$imgTag = $this->cObj->IMAGE($conf); // HERE WE CALL THE IMAGE FUNCTION 
FROM tslib_content which is documented in the TSRef!!!, see [2]
