 ## Configuration
-Here is an example with the default config. This is optional, and only relevant parts of the config can be included.
+[Here](./lua/mellifluous/default_config.lua) is the default config. The default config doesn't include all of the options – read below for color or highlight overrides. To set or override any of the options, use the `setup` function, e.g.:
 
 ```lua
 require("mellifluous").setup({
-    dim_inactive = false,
-    colorset = "mellifluous",
     styles = { -- see :h attr-list for options. set {} for NONE, { option = true } for option
-        main_keywords = {},
-        other_keywords = {},
-        types = {},
-        operators = {},
-        strings = {},
-        functions = {},
-        constants = {},
-        comments = { italic = true },
-        markup = {
