+====== Values (DED) ======
+The Values block allows modifying many of the values used internally in a game. Each game has a different set of values that can be modified, see below for details of the available values.
+The Values block can also be used to set up [[patch replacements]] (where applicable) which allows an internal patch to be replaced with a string of text.
+You can also define new values but the engine itself doesn't use the values for anything. You can think of the Values definition as a registry of nested string pairs. Internally the hierarchy levels are separated
+with the ''|'' (vertical line) character, so you can't use it in the key names.
+===== Syntax =====
+  Values {
+      Key1 = "Example"
+      My block {
+          Nested key = "This is a string"
+          Other key = "Hello"
+      }
+  }
+The definitions above would create the following entries:
+  *  Key1 = Example
+  *  My block|Nested key = This is a string
+  *  My block|Other key = Hello
+===== See also =====
+  *  [[ded:Values for Doom]]
+  *  [[ded:Values for Heretic]]
+  *  [[ded:Values for Hexen]]
