<h2>Configuration</h2>

the vast majority of administrators. If you want to see other numerous (and
advanced) configuration parameters, read file <span
cass="filename">include/config_default.inc.php</span>.</p>

<p>This screen is divided in several sections, regrouping configuration
parameters by theme.</p>
