<title>How Actions are Applied to URLs</title>
<para>
The actions file is divided into sections. There are special sections,
- like the alias sections which will be discussed later. For now let's
- concentrate on regular sections: They have a heading line (often split
+ like the <quote>alias</quote> sections which will be discussed later. For now
+ let's concentrate on regular sections: They have a heading line (often split
up to multiple lines for readability) which consist of a list of actions,
separated by whitespace and enclosed in curly braces. Below that, there
is a list of URL patterns, each on a separate line.
<title>Actions</title>
<para>
Actions are enabled if preceded with a <quote>+</quote>, and disabled if
- preceded with a <quote>-</quote>. Actions are invoked by enclosing the
- action name in curly braces (e.g. {+some_action}), followed by a list of
- URLs (or patterns that match URLs) to which the action applies. There are
- three classes of actions:
+ preceded with a <quote>-</quote>. So a <quote>+action</quote> means
+ <quote>do that action</quote>, e.g. <quote>+block</quote> means please
+ <quote>block the following URLs and/or patterns</quote>. All actions are
+ disabled by default, until they are explicitly enabled somewhere in an actions
+ file.
