phpDocumentor

Using Twig

phpDocumentor provides the Twig 3.x engine as a rendering engine for templates.

Configuration

The Twig engine can be configured in your template's template.xml through the <parameters> tag.

<template>
    <parameters>
        <parameter key="config-key">config-value</parameter>
    </parameters>
</template>

Caching

phpDocumentor enables Twig's compilation cache by default. When developing Twig templates, you need to turn this off in your template.xml by enabling debug mode:

<parameter key="twig-debug">true</parameter>

This will also make the Twig debug extension available, which provides the dump() function.
