 # DigiComp.FluidRenderFunctions
 
+## Quickstart
+
 This Package provides you with the possibility to register render functions, created from them, to use them dynamically else where.
 
 Let me show you the idea:
@@ -15,3 +17,9 @@ FluidRenderFunctions to the rescue:
 </rf:registerRenderFunction>
 <f:form.select options="{books -> rf:applyRenderFunction(function: 'renderBook')}" />
 ```
+
+To make your live easier, FluidRenderFunctions augments the original `SelectViewHelper` and the `TextfieldViewHelper` with an optional `renderFunction` argument. That way, you can even use the usual Textfield to display formatted Datetime objects. Neat!
+
+## Configuration
+
+If - for whatever reason - you do not want FluidRenderFunctions to augment the original ViewHelpers you can opt out by setting `DigiComp.FluidRenderFunctions.enableAspects.select` or `DigiComp.FluidRenderFunctions.enableAspects.textfield` to `false`.
