• Martin: Use confval directive: https://docs.typo3.org/m/typo3/demo-t3SphinxThemeRtd/master/en-us/Directives/confval.html
  (is used in documentation of sphinx project)
• is currently used in surf documentation: https://docs.typo3.org/other/typo3/surf/2.0/en-us/ApiReference/Task/Test/HttpTestTask.html
• important: empty line after confval
• :default: and :type: have specific meaning, are
• advantages:
  • HTML formatting automatically created
  • will automatically added to index
  • confval text role is added automatically
  • (previously, we had to add an additional header, this is now no longer necessary)

• title capitalization: https://decisions.typo3.org/t/title-capitalization-in-the-docs-revisited/562

  Martin: I once came to the conclusion that the Microsoft Writing Style Guide would be best. It uses "sentence capitalization" as propose in the decision.
  Plus it has much more advice and word lists. https://docs.microsoft.com/de-de/style-guide/welcome/
