==What is Contao==<br />
===History===<br />
<br />
Contao was started in the year 2006 under the name TYPOlight.<br />
<br />
Starting with release 2.9 (2010) the project is continuously developed under the name "Contao Open Source CMS".<br />
<br />
=== Dissociation from other CMS===<br />
<br />
Contao is following consequently the management of content within an container principle.<br />
<br />
The hierarchy is as follows: Page => Article => Content element.<br />
<br />
Therefore pages consist of articles, which are organized on a webpage in layout sections as "left column", "right column" and "main column".<br />
Each of these articles are containers of content elements like texts and images for example.<br />
<br />
This method of organizing and managing content allows beginners to work with the system straight forward and very intuitively.</div>Xtra
