 use YAML files for validation. But this doesn't mean that this is not
 possible. Let's see how to do it.

     If you are going to use the validation extension with forms, you must also
     add a dependency to the ``symfony/config`` and ``symfony/translation``
     components:
 
-    .. code-block:: json

-        "require": {

     The Symfony Security CSRF component is used to protect forms against CSRF attacks:

-            "symfony/security-csrf": "~2.4"
-        }
+        composer require symfony/security-csrf
 
     If you want to use forms in your Twig templates, you can also install the
     Symfony Twig Bridge. Make sure to install, if you didn't do that already,
     the Translation component in order for the bridge to work:
 
-    .. code-block:: json
+    .. code-block:: bash
 
-        "require": {
-            "symfony/twig-bridge": "~2.3",
