+## File Format
+
+**/etc/csvn-ui.rc** is a regular text file created by user to present Subversion repositories. This file
+reads by [**cscnd(8)**](https://csvn.radix.pro/cscm/trunk/doc/cscmd.8.md) daemon and converts to binary
+form for **cSvn-ui** CGI script. Binary format allows to minimize the time needed for complete HTTP
+responses.
+
+The configuration file consists of a set of variable or repository declarations also configuration
+file can contains section of repository descriptions. The C/C++ comments are available:
+
+```dts
+/****************************
+  Apache's SVN repositories:
+ */
+home-page = "https://svn.apache.org/";
+
+repo 'subversion' {
+  owner = "Apache";
+  description = "Source repository of the Subversion.";
+  checkout-prefix-readonly = 'https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf';
+}
+
+section "Other Repositories" {
+  repo 'other-repository' {

+
+
+### Analytics variables:
+
+
+#### analytic-links
+
+The path to the file which contains meta tags with site ownership verificaton codes for engines such as *Google Search Console* or
+*Yandex Webmaster*. **cSvn-ui** CGI Script reads the file **analytic-links** in RAW format and includes it into &lt;HEAD&gt; tag of each HTML page.
+Example declaration:
+
+```dts
+analytic-links = '/analytics/links';
+```
+
+Where the file */analytics/links* may contains HTML tags like follow:
+
+```html
+<meta name="google-site-verification" content="..." />
+```
+
+The file name should be defined relative of the path where **cSvn-ui** CGI Script is installed. For example, if **cSvn-ui** CGI Script installed
+into */srv/www/htdocs/csvn* directory and file name declared as */analytics/links* then **cSvn-ui** CGI Script will try to read the
+file */srv/www/htdocs/csvn/analytics/links*.
+
+
+#### analytic-scripts
+
+The path to the file which contains *JavaScripts* for engines such as *Google Search Console* or
+*Yandex Webmaster*. **cSvn-ui** CGI Script reads the file **analytic-scripts** in RAW format and includes it at the end of &lt;HEAD&gt; tag before
+&lt;/HEAD&gt; entry of each HTML page. Example declaration:
+
+```dts
+analytic-scripts = '/analytics/scripts';
+```
+
+Where the file */analytics/scripts* may contains code like follow:
+
+```html
+<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
+<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXXXXXXXX"></script>
+<script>
+  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
+  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
+  gtag('js', new Date());
+
+  gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX');
+</script>
+```
+
+Please note that the *&lt;script&gt;* tags should be present in the */analytics/scripts* because **cSvn-ui** CGI Script reads this file
+in RAW format and includes it as is.
+
+The variables **analytic-links** and **analytic-scripts** should be declared on the global level of the **/etc/csvn-ui.rc**
+configuration file and cannot be overriden in a repository declaration.
+
+
+### Donation variables:
+
+The **cSvn-ui** CGI Script provides the ability to create a custom donation dialogue. To do this, you need to create a set of three files:
+**CSS**, **HTML**, and **JavaScript** file for automation. You can add a donation dialogue for each repository separately, as well as for the
+entire list of repositories. To enable donation dialogue you have to set the value of **donate** variable to **donate = 1**:
+
+
+#### donate
+
+The integer variable used to enable or disable donation dialogue. Example declaration:
+
+```dts
+donate = 1;
+```
+
+#### donate-css
+
+The name of file contains the stylesheet for donation modal dialogue. Example declaration:
+
+```dts
+donate-css = '/donations/donate.css';
+```
+
+#### donate-html
+
+The name of file contains the HTML code of donation modal dialogue. Example declaration:
+
+```dts
+donate-html = '/donations/donate.html';
+```
+
+#### donate-js
+
+The name of file contains the javascript code for donation modal dialogue automation. Example declaration:
+
+```dts
+donate-js = '/donations/donate.js';
+```
+
+**cSvn-ui** CGI Script includes these files at end of &lt;BODY&gt; tag just before the closing &lt;/BODY&gt; tag. Unlike the others,
+the **donate-html** file should be no more than 8192 bytes in size due to the fact that this file is a template
+and the values of the following two variables are substituted into its body using placeholders *${donate-header}*
+and *${donate-purpose}*:
+
+
+#### donate-header
+
+The title of the donation modal dialogue defined in the **donate-html** file. Example declaration:
+
+```dts
+donate-header = "Donations";
+```
+
+#### donate-purpose
+
+The donation purpose used as value of &lt;input value="..."&gt; tag property in payment form of systems such as **PayPal** or **Yandex.Money**.
+Also this value can be used as a header of modal dialogue content. Example declaration:
+
+```dts
+donate-purpose = "Support for our projects";
+```
+
+Donation dialogue can be defined for each repository separately or defined on global level. In the last case
+the dialogue header and payment purpose may be overriden in the body of a repository declaration like follow:
+
+```dts
+true  = 1;
+false = 0;
+
+donate         = true;
+donate-css     = '/donations/donate.css';
+donate-html    = '/donations/donate.html';
+donate-js      = '/donations/donate.js';
+donate-header  = "Donation";
+donate-purpose = "Support our activities";
+
+section "Tools" {
+  repo 'repo-path' {
+    . . .
+    donate-header  = "Project Donation";
+    donate-purpose = "Support our Project";
+    . . .
+  }
+}
+```
+
+To show the modal dialogue in javascript code **donate-js** the selector **'a.donate'** should be used. For examle, like this:
+
+```php
+var show = document.querySelector( "a.donate" );
+
+/**************
+  Open Dialog:
+ */
+show.onclick = function() {
+  dialog.style.display = "block";
+}
+```
+
+Where the variable *dialog* points to modal dialogue defined in the **donate-html** file.
+
+
+
+### Repository Declaration
+
+The **/etc/csvn-ui.rc** config file should contains at least one repository declaration to be shown
+by the **cSvn-ui** CGI Script. When all expected variables declared in the global section
+the config file the repository declaration can be very simple:
+
+```dts
+repo 'tools' {
+  owner = "John Smith";
+  description = "John Smith's tools source code repository.";
+}
+```
+
+The list of repositories can be splitted in several sections. The section has a name and can
+contains repository declarations only.
+
+```dts
+section "John Smith sources" {
+  repo 'tools' {
+    owner = "John Smith";
+    description = "John Smith's tools source code repository.";
+  }
+  repo 'examples' {
+    owner = "John Smith";
+    description = "John Smith's examples source code.";
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Please note, repositories, unlike sections, do not have a name, but have a **path** to repository.
+So if your repositories in the file system are stored in the `/var/scm/svn` directory, and the
+`tools` repository is located in the `/var/scm/svn/tools` directory, then the path to the repository
+is set relative to the `/var/scm/svn` directory as follows:
+
+```dts
+repo 'tools' {
+  owner = "John Smith";
+  description = "John Smith's tools source code repository.";
+}
+```
+
+
+## Working Example
+
+As an example, we will give a working configuration file in which the **cSvn-ui** repository is presented.
+
+```dts
