+# Conventions
+
+This section explains several conventions used in this documentation.
+
+## Symbols
+
+This documentation use some symbols for illustration purposes. Before you read
+on, please make sure you've made yourself familiar with the following list of
+conventions:
+
+### <!-- md:sponsors --> – Sponsors only { data-toc-label="Sponsors only" }
+
+The pumping heart symbol denotes that a specific feature or behavior is only
+available to sponsors via [Insiders]. Make sure that you have access to
+[Insiders] if you want to use the feature.
+
+### <!-- md:version --> – Version { data-toc-label="Version" }
+
+The tag symbol in conjunction with a version number denotes when a specific
+feature or behavior was added. Make sure you're at least on this version
+if you want to use it.
+
+### <!-- md:version insiders- --> – Version (Insiders)  { data-toc-label="Version (Insiders)" }
+
+The tag symbol with a heart in conjunction with a version number denotes that a
+specific feature or behavior was added to the [Insiders] version of Material for
+MkDocs.
+
+### <!-- md:default --> – Default value { #default data-toc-label="Default value" }
+
+Some properties in `mkdocs.yml` have default values for when the author does not
+explicitly define them. The default value of the property is always included.
+
+#### <!-- md:default computed --> – Default value is computed { #default data-toc-label="is computed" }
+
+Some default values are not set to static values but computed form other values,
+like the site language, repository provider, or other settings.
+
+#### <!-- md:default none --> – Default value is empty { #default data-toc-label="is empty" }
+
+Some properties do not contain default values. This means that the functionality
+that is associated with them is not available unless explicitly enabled.
+
+### <!-- md:feature --> – Optional feature { #feature data-toc-label="Optional feature" }
+
+Most of the features are hidden behind feature flags, which means they must
+be explicitly enabled via `mkdocs.yml`. This allows for the existence of
+potentially orthogonal features.
+
+### <!-- md:flag experimental --> – Experimental { data-toc-label="Experimental" }
+
+Some newer features are still considered experimental, which means the ymight
+(although rarely) change at any time, including their complete removal (which
+hasn't happened yet).
+
+### <!-- md:plugin --> – Plugin { data-toc-label="Plugin" }
+
+Several features are implemented through MkDocs excellent plugin architecture,
+some of which are built-in and distributed with Material for MkDocs, so no
+installation is required.
+
+### <!-- md:utility --> – Utility { data-toc-label="Utility" }
+
+Besides plugins, there are some utilities that build on top of MkDocs in order
+to provide extended functionality, like for example support for versioning.
