+\subsection{Modifying symbols and icons}
+\subsubsection{Icons}
+As we have seen in section \ref{section:customization:stylesAndOptions}, the use of icons can be 
+influenced by the \code{symbols} and \Code{nosymbols} options that can be passed to the \Code{\\moderncvstyle} command. \medskip
+
+The icons used in the display of the personal data (phone numbers, email, fax, social accounts, etc.) can be customized by redefining the internal commands representing the symbols.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+  \renewcommand*{<\symbolcommand>}{{\small<\symbol>}~}
+\end{lstlisting} 
+Using \code{\\small} is optional, but by default all icons are rendered using the small 
+versions of the symbols used. \emph{The above command is what should be used if one merely whishes to 
+  replace an icon/symbol leaving the size consistent with the default icons}.
+The tilde ensures proper spacing after the symbols and is recommended as well.
+
+Currently \moderncv supports the following commands as \code{<\\symbolcommand>}:
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item \lstinline!\addresssymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\mobilephonesymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\fixedphonesymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\faxphonesymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\emailsymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\homepagesymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\linkedinsocialsymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\xingsocialsymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\twittersocialsymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\githubsocialsymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\gitlabsocialsymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\stackoverflowsocialsymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\bitbucketsocialsymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\skypesocialsymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\orcidsocialsymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\researchgatesocialsymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\researcheridsocialsymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\telegramsocialsymbol!
+  \item \lstinline!\googlescholarsocialsymbol!
+\end{itemize}
+The possible options for \Code{<\\symbol>} depend on the package that is used. 
+By default the \Code{marvosym} package is loaded if \Code{pdflatex} is used and the packages 
+\code{academicons} and \Code{fontawesome5} are loaded if \Code{lualatex} or \Code{xelatex} are 
+employed. The documentation including full lists of all available symbols and icons can be found 
+in the respective package documentations \medskip
+
+\begin{tabular}{l}
+  \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/marvosym}\\[1ex]
+  \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/fontawesome5}\\[1ex]
+  \url{https://ctan.org/pkg/academicons}
+\end{tabular}
+
+\paragraph{Example.}
+If one wanted to use the dingbat fonts to substitute fixed phone symbol one would load the \Code{pifont} package in the preamble, then substitute the default symbol \Code{\\fixedphonesymbol} with the dingbat symbol \ding{38}\ by:
+\begin{lstlisting}
+  \renewcommand*{\fixedphonesymbol}{\ding{38}~}
+\end{lstlisting} 
+
+\subsubsection{Listing labels}
+The labels used in \Code{itemize} environments or the \Moderncv macros \code{cvlistitem} and \Code{cvlistdoubleitem} can be affected in two different ways:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+ \item By redefining the internal commands \code{\\labelitemi}, \code{\\labelitemii} as well as
+  \code{\\labelitemiii} and \code{\\labelitemiv}, e.g. 
+  \begin{lstlisting}
+  \renewcommand{\labelitemi}{-}.
+  \end{lstlisting}
+  This will affect both, the \Code{itemize} environments as well as the macros \Code{cvlistitem} and \Code{cvlistdoubleitem}.
+  \item If one only whishes to change the labels of the macros \Code{cvlistitem} and \Code{cvlistdoubleitem}, one needs to redefine the \code{\\listitemsymbol}, e.g.
+\begin{lstlisting}
+  \renewcommand{\listitemsymbol}{-}.
+\end{lstlisting}
+This will leave the definitions of \Code{itemize} environments untouched.
+\end{itemize}
+
+\subsection{Tips and Tricks}
+\subsubsection{Legal disclaimer at the end of CV}
+Some countries (e.g. Italy) require to add the permission to treat the personal data contained in the CV. This can be achieved by the command \code{\\vfill}. At the end of the last entry to your 
+CV, add the following:%
+\footnote{Example provided by Cristina Sambo} %
+\begin{lstlisting}
+  \vfill
+  \begin{center} 
+  \textit{\small Ai sensi del D. Lgs. 196/2003 ...}
+  \end{center}
+\end{lstlisting}
+
+\section{Implementation details}
+\label{section:implementationDetails}
+
+\subsection{Creating your own styles}
+\todox{Add explanation on how to create styles and and how to recombine headers, footers, bodies etc.}
+
+\subsection{Required packages}
+\label{section:implementationDetails:requiredPackages}
+In addition to the packages that \Moderncv itself provides the following packages are loaded internally:
+
+\begin{itemize}
+  \item\code{etoolbox}, 
+  \item\code{ifthen}, 
+  \item\code{xcolor}, 
+  \item\code{ifxetex,ifluatex}, 
+  \item\code{fontenc}, 
+  \item\code{url}, 
+  \item\code{hyperref}, 
+  \item\code{graphicx}, 
+  \item\code{fancyhdr}, 
+  \item\code{tweaklist}, 
+  \item\code{calc}, 
+  \item\code{xparse}, 
+  \item\code{microtype}, 
+  \item\code{expl3}, 
+  \item\code{tikz}, 
+  \item\code{changepage}, 
+  \item\code{fontawesome5}, 
+  \item\code{academicons}, 
+  \item\code{tgpagella}, %
+  \item\code{ebgaramond}, %
+  \item\code{kurier}, 
+  \item\code{multirow},
+  \item\code{arydshln}. %
+\end{itemize}
+
+Note that the \Code{tweaklist} package has been altered for the development of \Moderncv and ships 
+with \moderncv.
+
+Most of the packages should be included in the \LaTeX\ distribution of your choice.
+
+\subsection{Known conflicts with other packages}
+\begin{enumerate}
+  \item The \Moderncv packages is incompatible with biber.
+\end{enumerate}
+
+\subsection{Known bugs}
