+# NAME
+
+revela - static image gallery generator.
+
+# DESCRIPTION
+
+This manual page documents the format and syntax of the _\*.ini_ or configuration
+files found in revela source galleries.
+
+# PREAMBLE
+
+There are two kinds of configuration files:
+
+*site.ini* - There is only one _site.ini_ file in a revela gallery and it should
+be located at the root of the gallery directory. This file contains the title of
+the gallery, the base url, and image optimization settings.
+
+*album.ini* - Each album should contain a file with this name. This simply
+contains the title of the album and optionally a description.
+
+# SYNTAX
+
+Both files are in what's called 'ini format'. It merely consists of _key=value_
+pairs and _[sections]_. You should already be familiar with it.
+
+## SITE CONFIGURATION
+
+_site.ini_ may contain the following sections and keys:
+
+*title*=string
+	The name or title of the gallery to be used inside templates.
+
+*base_url*=string
+	The base url. For example, if the web gallery is not at the root of the
+	website, it could be "/photos". _Optional_.
+
+*[images]*
+	This section contains settings for optimization of the main image files.
+	_This section and all its keys are optional_.
+
+	*strip*=boolean
+		Whether to strip images of their EXIF tags and other metainformation.
+
+	*quality*=integer
+		From 0 to 100, 0 being the lowest quality and highest compression, and
+		100 being the highest quality but no compression. This corresponds to
+		JPEG "quality" levels.
+
+	*max_width*=integer
+		The maximum width the image file should have in pixels.
+
+	*max_height*=integer
+		The maximum height the image file should have in pixels.
+
+	*smart_resize*=boolean
+		Whether to preserve the aspect ratio of the image when resizing.
+
+	*blur*=integer
+		A value from 0 to 100, where 0 is no blur and 100 is the maximum amount
+		of blur.
+
+*[thumbnails]*
+	This section contains settings for optimization of the thumbnails files of
+	images. All of the keys in this section are the same as in the _images_
+	sections. _This section and all its keys are optional_.
+
+## ALBUM CONFIGURATION
+
+_album.ini_ may contain the following keys:
+
+*title*=string
+	The name of the album.
+
+*desc*=string
+	A short description of the album. _Optional_.
+
+# NOTES
+
+If you initialize your gallery with the helper script _revela-init_ a _site.ini_
+should be generated. You can tweak the settings by using it as a basis.
