[TYPO3-english] userFunc condition

[Peter Klein]

Hi Sergio.

Conditions can be used outside of confinements (curly braces) only! 
The TYPO3 documentation is a mess, so it's quite hard to find the
correct document.  (Back in the old days, there was a comment function
on the TSRef pages, where users could put extra info like this, but
that got removed when the "new" layout was introduced.)

The condition usage is descriped in "TypoScript Syntax and In-depth
Study" 
http://typo3.org/documentation/document-library/core-documentation/doc_core_ts/4.2.0/view/1/2/#id4124614

A more appropriate place would have been in TSRef, or a link in TSRef
pointing to the other document.
