+Dependency groups, other than the implicit `main` group, must only contain dependencies you need in your development
+process. Installing them is only possible by using Poetry.
+
+To declare a set of dependencies, which add additional functionallity to the project during runtime,
+use [extras]({{< relref "pyproject#extras" >}}) instead. Extras can be installed by the end user using `pip`.
