I develop a lot of HTML Typoscript templates for Typo3, without Templavoila or any other fancy extensions. With the release of Typo3 4.5 and the introduction of Backend Layouts there have been a lot of improvements which make Templavoila obsolete in many scenarios.
I will post a few Typoscript snippets I use in a lot of projects over the next few weeks.
Basic configuration stuff
config { language = de locale_all = de_DE doctype = html5 htmlTag_setParams = lang="de prologue = none metaCharset = utf-8 htmlTag_langKey = de-DE linkVars = L sys_language_uid = 1 spamProtectEmailAddresses = 1 spamProtectEmailAddresses_atSubst = (at) }
What this does is to set the language to german, define language url parameters for a multi language setup and try to protect standard email addresses.
More to come soon …
