+    Unlike the frontend TypoScript condition `tree.level`, the backend tree level
+    is not affected by `pages.is_siteroot`. This means, for nested sites it cannot
+    be used to match "site roots" or in general any n-th levels of page tree depths.
+    It's the *absolute depth* of the entire page tree, starting with `1`.
