+For the PHP package to be an extension you need a class
+extending `\Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Extension\Extension` by 
+implementing the interface 
+`Symfony\Component\DependencyInjection\Extension\PrependExtensionInterface` we

+file. Lines 29 to 36 configure the directory overriding the default templates. 
+Read chapter :ref:`extending_templates` to learn more about this.
+
+..  note::
+    This is a Symfony extension, not a TYPO3 extension. See also the

+
+It is recommended to always extend an existing template so that the base 
+templates twig files can be used as fallback for non-defined specific template 
+files.
+
+In order to extend the default bootstrap theme, require the according base 
+extension in your extension's `composer.json`:
+
+..  code-block:: json
+    :caption: your-extension/composer.json
+
+    {
+      "name": "t3docs/typo3-docs-theme",
+      "...": "...",
+      "require": {
+        "phpdocumentor/guides-theme-bootstrap": "dev-main"
+      }
+    }
+
+And then set `'extends' => 'bootstrap'` (line 32 in the first code-snippet).
+
+To extend the base template (plain HTML) require `phpdocumentor/guides` in your 
+`composer.json`, and omit the key `extends`:
+
+
+..  code-block:: php
+    :caption: your-extension/DependencyInjection/YourExtension.php
+
+    $container->prependExtensionConfig('guides', [
+        'themes' => ['mytheme' => dirname(__DIR__, 3) . '/resources/template'],
+    ]);
+
+You can now copy any twig file from the extended extensions and change it with 
+the full power of `Twig <https://twig.symfony.com/>`__.
+
+Have a look at the `custom theme for TYPO3 Documentation <https://github.com/TYPO3-Documentation/typo3-docs-theme>`__
+for an example on how to create a theme which also features custom directives.
