Ding. You picked up on the same niggle that bugged me — both in
the original & here. I thought I'd just stared at it for too
long.
‘Value’ is a reference to the terminology used in (gnu services).
‘To the service type’ sounds less accurate. I find the sentence
close to clunky is it is; what about a short and sweet:
+The service type for the TLP tool. The default settings are
optimised
+for battery life on most systems, but you can tweak them to your
heart's
+content by adding a valid @code{tlp-configuration}:
^^^^^^
Now I've definitely stared at this for too long. How typical for
a prose patch :-)
