+Configuration
+"""""""""""""
+
+You can use the setting ``SITEMAP`` variable to configure the behavior of the
+plugin.
+
+The ``SITEMAP`` variable must be a Python dictionary, it can contain tree keys:
+
+
+- ``format``, which set the output format of the plugin (``xml`` or ``txt``)
+
+- ``priorities``, which is a dictionary with three keys:
+
+  - ``articles``, the priority for the URLs of the articles and their
+    translations
+
+  - ``pages``, the priority for the URLs of the static pages
+
+  - ``indexes``, the priority for the URLs of the index pages, such as tags,
+     author pages, categories indexes, archives, etc...
+
+  All the values of this dictionary must be decimal numbers between ``0`` and ``1``.
+
+- ``changefreqs``, which is a dictionary with three items:
+
+  - ``articles``, the update frequency of the articles
+
+  - ``pages``, the update frequency of the pages
+
+  - ``indexes``, the update frequency of the index pages
+
+  An valid value is  ``always``, ``hourly``, ``daily``, ``weekly``, ``monthly``,
+  ``yearly`` or ``never``.
+
+
+If a key is missing or a value is incorrect, it will be replaced with the
+default value.
+
+The sitemap is saved in ``<output_path>/sitemap.<format>``.
+
+.. note::
+   ``priorities`` and ``changefreqs`` are informations for search engines.
+   They are only used in the XML sitemaps.
+   For more information: <http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#xmlTagDefinitions>
