 5 Customization
 ***************
 
 All WoMan user options are customizable, and it is recommended to change
 them only via the standard Emacs customization facilities.  WoMan
 defines a top-level customization group called ‘WoMan’ under the parent
 group ‘Help’.  It can be accessed either via the standard Emacs
 facilities, e.g., via the ‘Help->Customize’ submenu, or via the WoMan
 major mode menu.
 
 The top-level WoMan group contains only a few general options and three
 subgroups.  The hooks are provided only for special purposes that, for
 example, require code to be executed, and should be changed only via
 ‘Customization’ or the function ‘add-hook’.  Most customization should
 be possible via existing user options.
 
 ‘woman-show-log’
      A boolean value that defaults to ‘nil’.  If non-‘nil’ then show the
      ‘*WoMan-Log*’ buffer if appropriate, i.e., if any warning messages
      are written to it.  The *WoMan-Log* Buffer Log.
 
 ‘woman-pre-format-hook’
      A hook run immediately before formatting a buffer.  It might, for
      example, be used for face customization.  Faces Faces,
      however.
 
 ‘woman-post-format-hook’
      A hook run immediately after formatting a buffer.  It might, for
      example, be used for installing a dynamic menu using ‘imenu’.
      (However.  in this case it is better to use the built-in WoMan
      ‘imenu’ support.  Imenu Support; Contents Menu Imenu.)
