Yeah, figured it out myself a view minutes ago.
and i think thats a great example which shows what the difference
between a "complete" and a "good" documentation is.
You and i as plugin developers know that plugins treat the [] in urls
like arrays, but there are a lot of people who havent a clue how piVars
are treated by TYPO3.
Another point is the structure of the documents:
if i want to know something about "globalVar" conditions, i dont want to
read through the "globalString" section (i probably even dont know what
a "globalString" is...)
Its completely clear to me that a big complex system like TYPO3 is hard
to document in a way everybody can use it, but its not hard to find
issues on bad usabillity here.
