[TYPO3] Content condition

It's a reference - yes but not a complete one. Very often parameters are incomplete. This is very common for open source software as developers rather develop new features than document old ones. I can understand this as it's more rewarding. Since they don't have to sell the product directly but rather their services they don't need a decent documentation being shipped to the customer.

That's where you have to invest with open source software - either in time learning the system/framework or in support by professionals.

Hi Stefan

Actually TSref is very well structured and an authoritative reference - 
the key word being reference. It's not full of examples as its a 
refernece and not an example document. thats what typoscript by example 
is for.

I can understand why it seems difficult as a piece of documentation but 
I suspect that as you learn typoscript more you'll realise that TSref is 
very very well structured and extremely handy. You unfortunately just 
need to persevere with it, like we all have, until all of a sudden it 
will click as to how to use and reference things in it.
