Yes, thank you. How about it? There are several such possibilities. Both of those you suggest are fine. I suggested also `Defining User Options' and `Defining Customization Variables' (the current title, inside the node). (But if we do go with "option" then the title too should reflect that.) Nearly anything suggesting defcustom, option definition, or custom variable definition. The main thing is to avoid `Variable Definitions', which invites confusion. > I suggest defining the term "user option" in the parent node, > the chapter Customization Settings. I guess you mean instead of in node `Variable Definitions', where it's defined now. That too makes sense, as there we currently introduce the term "customization items" and we speak of customizing variables and faces, without saying that the former are options. (But the menu refers to user options.)
