 Trac configuration is done by editing the '''`trac.ini`''' config file, located in `<projectenv>/conf/trac.ini`.  Changes to the configuration are usually reflected immediately, though changes to the `[components]` or `[logging]` sections will require restarting the web server. You may also need to restart the web server after creating a global configuration file when none was previously present.
 The `trac.ini` configuration file should be writable by the web server, as Trac currently relies on the possibility to trigger a complete environment reload to flush its caches.

+Multiple files can be specified using a comma-separated list.
 Note that you can also specify a global option file when creating a new project,  by adding the option `--inherit=/path/to/global/options` to [TracAdmin trac-admin]'s `initenv` command.  If do not do this but nevertheless intend to use a global option file with your new environment, you will have to go through the newly generated conf/trac.ini file and delete the entries that will otherwise override those set in the global file.
+Note that you can also specify a global option file when creating a new project,  by adding the option `--inherit=/path/to/global/trac.ini` to [TracAdmin#initenv trac-admin]'s `initenv` command.  If you do not do this but nevertheless intend to use a global option file with your new environment, you will have to go through the newly generated `conf/trac.ini` file and delete the entries that will otherwise override those set in the global file.
+There are two more entries in the [[#inherit-section| [inherit] ]] section, `templates_dir` for sharing global templates and `plugins_dir`, for sharing plugins. Those entries can themselves be specified in the shared configuration file, and in fact, configuration files can even be chained if you specify another `[inherit] file` there.
+== Reference ==
+Note that the templates found in the `templates/` directory of the TracEnvironment have precedence over those found in `[inherit] templates_dir`. In turn, the latter have precedence over the installed templates, so be careful about what you put there, notably if you override a default template be sure to refresh your modifications when you upgrade to a new version of Trac (the preferred way to perform TracInterfaceCustomization being still to write a custom plugin doing an appropriate `ITemplateStreamFilter` transformation).
+This is a brief reference of available configuration options.
+== Reference for settings
+ ''Note that the [bitten], [spam-filter] and [vote] sections below are added by plugins enabled on this Trac, and therefore won't be part of a default installation.''
+This is a brief reference of available configuration options, and their default settings.

+== Reference for special sections
+[[PageOutline(3,,inline)]]
 == [components] == #components-section
+=== [components] === #components-section
 This section is used to enable or disable components provided by plugins, as well as by Trac itself. The component to enable/disable is specified via the name of the option. Whether its enabled is determined by the option value; setting the value to `enabled` or `on` will enable the component, any other value (typically `disabled` or `off`) will disable the component.

+=== [extra-permissions] === #extra-permissions-section
+''(since 0.12)''
 In this section, you can define additional fields for tickets. See TracTicketsCustomFields for more details.
+Custom additional permissions can be defined in this section when [wiki:ExtraPermissionsProvider] is enabled.
+== [ticket-workflow] == #ticket-workflow-section
+''(since 0.11)''
+The workflow for tickets is controlled by plugins.
+By default, there's only a `ConfigurableTicketWorkflow` component in charge.
+That component allows the workflow to be configured via this section in the trac.ini file.

+== [svn:externals] == #svn:externals-section
+=== [repositories] === #repositories-section
+(''since 0.12'' multirepos)
+One of the alternatives for registering new repositories is to populate the `[repositories]` section of the trac.ini.
+This is especially suited for setting up convenience aliases, short-lived repositories, or during the initial phases of an installation.
+See [TracRepositoryAdmin#Intrac.ini TracRepositoryAdmin] for details about the format adopted for this section and the rest of that page for the other alternatives.
+=== [svn:externals] === #svn:externals-section
 ''(since 0.11)''
+The TracBrowser for Subversion can interpret the `svn:externals` property of folders out of the box.
+However, if those externals are ''not'' using the `http:` or `https:` protocol, or if a link to a different repository browser such as another Trac or [http://www.viewvc.org/ ViewVC] is desired, then Trac needs to be able to map an external prefix to this other URL.
+The TracBrowser for Subversion can interpret the `svn:externals` property of folders.
+By default, it only turns the URLs into links as Trac can't browse remote repositories.
+However, if you have another Trac instance (or an other repository browser like [http://www.viewvc.org/ ViewVC]) configured to browse the target repository, then you can instruct Trac which other repository browser to use for which external URL.
 This mapping is done in the `[svn:externals]` section of the TracIni
