 .SH DESCRIPTION
 Wofi contains several built in modes as well as a lot of other features including combi which are documented here.
 
+The config options documented here are stripped of mode names. Mode specific config options are placed in the config file in the format \fBmode\-example_opt=val\fR. For example dmenu has an option called \fBparse_action\fR which would be placed in the config as \fBdmenu\-parse_action=true\fR.
