-TYPO3 Extension Manual Template
-===============================
+..  warning::
+    This repository is archived. Use the init command of the Docker rendering 
+    containter to generate to create a new documentation guide instead.
 
-This is a template for a TYPO3 extension manual to help developers with
-documentation. The template provides a structure that a developer can use,
-as well as many useful snippets and examples.
-
-The documentation is written in reST format and follows the general
-`TYPO3 documentation standard`_ and its recommended `file structure`_.
-
-..  Documentation is like gift wrapping, it may look superfluous,
-    but your friends tend to be rather disappointed when their presents
-    arrive in supermarket carrier bags.
