+
+.Version information
+NOTE: This section applies to `crmsh 2.0+` only.
+
+
+`crm` can be configured using both a system-wide configuration file,
+and a per-user configuration file. The values set in the user-local
+file take precedence over the system-wide settings.
+
+The global configuration file is usually installed at
+`/etc/crm/crm.conf`, and the user-local configuration file at
+`~/.config/crm/crm.conf`.
+
+
+== Upgrading from crm 1.x to 2.x ==
+
+The configuration file format and location changed significantly going
+from crm 1.x to 2.x. If `crm` cannot find a user-local configuration
+file when starting up, it will look for an old-style configuration
+file at `~/.crm.rc`. If this file exists, `crm` will prompt the user
+asking if the old-style configuration should be automatically
+converted to a new-style configuration file.
+
+
+== Format description ==
+
+The `settings` file consists of sections introduced by a `[section]`
+header, and followed by `name=value` pairs.
+
+Leading whitespace is stripped from values.
+
+Values can contain format strings referring to other values in the
+same section.
+
+Lines starting with `#` or `;` are interpreted as comments.
+
+Values starting with `$` are interpreted as environment variable
+references, and the value will be retrieved from the named environment
+variable if set.
+
+== Example configuration ==
+
+The example configuration below lists all available options and their
+default values.

+
+
+== Loading and saving options ==
+
+Options are loaded from the global configuration file first, and the
+user-local file second. This means that the user-local options take
+precedence over the global configuration.
+
+When changing an option using the `options` sublevel, the
+configuration file is written to disk with the new value.
+
+== Syntax highlighting ==
+
+By default, `crm` will try to syntax highlight its output when
+connected to a TTY. To disable this behavior, set the configuration
+value `style = none` in the `[color]` section.
+
+The available color choices may depend on the terminal used, but
+normally include the following:
+
+----
+black blue green cyan red magenta yellow white
+----
+
+Colors can be combined with styles:
+
+----
+bold blink dim reverse underline normal
+----
+
+== Setting options from the interactive shell ==
+
+Options can be set directly from the interactive shell using the
+`options` sublevel. These options will be written to the per-user
+configuration file. Note that changing an option in this way may erase
+comments added to the configuration file.
