The syntax used in Symfony Docs is similar to Markdown, but different in some cases. One of those cases is the use of double backticks for code. This:

`Symfony-Debug-Toolbar-Replace`

``Symfony-Debug-Toolbar-Replace``

Same for the 1 code used in the same phrase.

header can be set on the response object::

$response->headers->set('Symfony-Debug-Toolbar-Replace', 1);

------------------------------------------

-------------------------------------------

Ideally this header should only be set during development and not for
production. This can be accomplished by setting the header in a
:ref:`kernel.response <component-http-kernel-kernel-response>` event listener::

public function onKernelResponse(FilterResponseEvent $event)
{
$response = $event->getResponse();

$response->headers->set('Symfony-Debug-Toolbar-Replace', 1);
}

If you are using Symfony Flex, you should define your event listener service in the
``config/services_dev.yml`` file so that it only exists in the ``dev`` environment.
