Unified and complete documention of the module `setting` #359

Closed yarusome closed 1 year ago

yarusome commented 1 year ago

In the current documention, Chapter 9 lists various command-line options, followed by a few paragraphs mentioning some configuration variables in the module settings. However:

  1. There're a lot of other configuration variables scattered among other chapters.
  2. The documented configuration variables are not complete, e.g. pngdriver mentioned in #358.

Moreover, since the module settings is internal, it's rather difficult, if not impossible, to find a suitbale configuration variable quickly.

So I propose to list all the configuration variables in a single section in the documentation while maintaining the current appearances of configuration variables in other chapters. I could also make a PR if I could know where all the variables appear in the source codes.

Actually I already addressed this an hour ago (use the -e option):
