Netgen Layouts Documentation

Netgen Layouts is an easy and flexible way of managing all page layouts on your website. Use it to manage and maintain the website layout structure in a slick and agile but at the same time extensible way.

Note

This documentation assumes you have a working knowledge of the Symfony Framework. If you’re not familiar with Symfony, please start with reading the Quick Tour from the Symfony documentation.

Note

Netgen Layouts does not force or otherwise define where your configuration, code, or templates live. Examples in this documentation will use YAML as a configuration format, but you can ofcourse use any format available in Symfony and you can place templates in folder structure that fits your needs best.
