-Registering it in Your Application
-----------------------------------
-
-In order to enable the normalizer in an application based on the entire Symfony
-framework, you must register it as a service and :doc:`tag it </service_container/tags>`
-with ``serializer.normalizer``.

-.. configuration-block::
-
-    .. code-block:: yaml
 
-        # app/config/services.yml
-        services:
-            app.yaml_encoder:
-                class: AppBundle\Serializer\TopicNormalizer
-                tags:

+Registering it in your Application
+----------------------------------
 
-    .. code-block:: php
+If you use the Symfony Framework. then you probably want to register this normalizer
+as a service in your app. If you're using the :ref:`default services.yml configuration <service-container-services-load-example>`,
+that's done automatically!
 
-        // app/config/services.php
-        use AppBundle\Serializer\TopicNormalizer;
+.. tip::
 
-        $container
-            ->register('app.yaml_encoder', TopicNormalizer::class)
-            ->addTag('serializer.normalizer')
-        ;
+    If you're not using autoconfigure, make sure to register your class as a service
+    and tag it with ``serializer.normalizer``.
