Drupalcamp London 2016 - Markup the Drupal 8 way
Channel: Drupalcamp London
Date: 18/04/2016

Drupal 8 uses Twig as its default templating engine. This has generated a lot of excitement but Twig isn't the only thing that has changed in the Drupal 8 Theme System - Twig has been a tool that has allowed us to make many other changes.

In this presentation I will give an overview of how markup should be printed in Drupal 8. I will also walk through some of the changes that have made outputting markup more complex and how to cope with them.

Topics in this session includes:

A high-level overview of the the theme system in Drupal 8 and how Twig works in the backend.
Using theme hook suggestions to cut down on custom code and have themers thanking you.
How to become friends with autoescaping without losing security
