 Standards
 ---------
 
-In order to help the reader as much as possible and to create code examples that
-look and feel familiar, you should follow these rules:
-
-* The code follows the :doc:`Symfony Coding Standards</contributing/code/standards>`
-  as well as the `Twig Coding Standards`_;
-* Each line should break approximately after the first word that crosses the
-  72nd character (so most lines end up being 72-78 characters);
-* To avoid horizontal scrolling on code blocks, we prefer to break a line
-  correctly if it crosses the 85th character;
-* When you fold one or more lines of code, place ``...`` in a comment at the point
-  of the fold. These comments are: ``// ...`` (php), ``# ...`` (yaml/bash), ``{# ... #}``
-  (twig), ``<!-- ... -->`` (xml/html), ``; ...`` (ini), ``...`` (text);
-* When you fold a part of a line, e.g. a variable value, put ``...`` (without comment)
-  at the place of the fold;
-* Description of the folded code: (optional)
-  If you fold several lines: the description of the fold can be placed after the ``...``
-  If you fold only part of a line: the description can be placed before the line;
-* If useful, a ``codeblock`` should begin with a comment containing the filename
-  of the file in the code block. Don't place a blank line after this comment,
-  unless the next line is also a comment;
-* You should put a ``$`` in front of every bash line;
-* The ``::`` shorthand is preferred over ``.. code-block:: php`` to begin a PHP
-  code block;
-* You should use a form of *you* instead of *we*.
-
-An example::
-
-    // src/Foo/Bar.php
-
-    // ...
-    class Bar
-    {
-        // ...
-
-        public function foo($bar)
-        {
-            // set foo with a value of bar
-            $foo = ...;
-
-            // ... check if $bar has the correct value
-
-            return $foo->baz($bar, ...);
-        }
-    }
-
-.. caution::
-
-    In Yaml you should put a space after ``{`` and before ``}`` (e.g. ``{ _controller: ... }``),
-    but this should not be done in Twig (e.g.  ``{'hello' : 'value'}``).
+All documentation in the Symfony Documentation should follow
+:doc:`the documentation standards <standards>`.

+Documentation Standards
+=======================
+
+In order to help the reader as much as possible and to create code examples that
+look and feel familiar, you should follow these standards.
+
+Sphinx
+------
+
+* The following characters are choosen for different heading levels: level 1
+  is ``=``, level 2 ``-``, level 3 ``~``, level 4 ``.`` and level 5 ``"``;
+* Each line should break approximately after the first word that crosses the
+  72nd character (so most lines end up being 72-78 characters);
+* The ``::`` shorthand is *preferred* over ``.. code-block:: php`` to begin a PHP
+  code block (read `the Sphinx documentation`_ to see when you should use the
+  shorthand);
+* Inline hyperlinks are **not** used. Seperate the link and their target
+  definition, which you add on the bottom of the page;
+* You should use a form of *you* instead of *we*.
+
+Example
+~~~~~~~
+
+.. code-block:: ReST
+
+    Example
+    =======
+
+    When you are working on the docs, you should follow the `Symfony Docs`_
+    standards.
+
+    Level 2
+    -------
+
+    A PHP example would be::
+
+        echo 'Hello World';
+
+    Level 3
+    ~~~~~~~
+
+    .. code-block:: php
+
+        echo 'You cannot use the :: shortcut here';
+
+    .. _`Symfony Docs`: http://symfony.com/doc/current/contributing/documentation/standards.html
+
+Code Examples
+-------------
+
+* The code follows the :doc:`Symfony Coding Standards</contributing/code/standards>`
+  as well as the `Twig Coding Standards`_;
+* To avoid horizontal scrolling on code blocks, we prefer to break a line
+  correctly if it crosses the 85th character;
+* When you fold one or more lines of code, place ``...`` in a comment at the point
+  of the fold. These comments are: ``// ...`` (php), ``# ...`` (yaml/bash), ``{# ... #}``
+  (twig), ``<!-- ... -->`` (xml/html), ``; ...`` (ini), ``...`` (text);
+* When you fold a part of a line, e.g. a variable value, put ``...`` (without comment)
+  at the place of the fold;
+* Description of the folded code: (optional)
+  If you fold several lines: the description of the fold can be placed after the ``...``
+  If you fold only part of a line: the description can be placed before the line;
+* If useful, a ``codeblock`` should begin with a comment containing the filename
+  of the file in the code block. Don't place a blank line after this comment,
+  unless the next line is also a comment;
+* You should put a ``$`` in front of every bash line.
+
+Formats
+~~~~~~~
+
+Configuration examples should show all supported formats using
+:ref:`configuration blocks <docs-configuration-blocks>`. The supported formats
+(and their orders) are:
+
+* **Configuration** (including services and routing): Yaml, Xml, Php
+* **Validation**: Yaml, Annotations, Xml, Php
+* **Doctrine Mapping**: Annotations, Yaml, Xml, Php
+
+Example

+    // ...
+    class Bar
