 Stirling PDF allows easy customization of the app.
 Includes things like
-- Custom application name
-- Custom slogans, icons, images, and even custom HTML (via file overrides)
 
+- Custom application name
+- Custom slogans, icons, HTML, images CSS etc (via file overrides) 
 
 There are two options for this, either using the generated settings file ``settings.yml``
 This file is located in the ``/configs`` directory and follows standard YAML formatting
 
 Environment variables are also supported and would override the settings file
 For example in the settings.yml you have
+
 ```yaml

 ### Extra notes
+
 - Endpoints. Currently, the endpoints ENDPOINTS_TO_REMOVE and GROUPS_TO_REMOVE can include comma separate lists of endpoints and groups to disable as example ENDPOINTS_TO_REMOVE=img-to-pdf,remove-pages would disable both image-to-pdf and remove pages, GROUPS_TO_REMOVE=LibreOffice Would disable all things that use LibreOffice. You can see a list of all endpoints and groups [here](https://github.com/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/blob/main/Endpoint-groups.md)
 - customStaticFilePath. Customise static files such as the app logo by placing files in the /customFiles/static/ directory. An example of customising app logo is placing a /customFiles/static/favicon.svg to override current SVG. This can be used to change any images/icons/css/fonts/js etc in Stirling-PDF
 
 ### Environment only parameters
+
 - ``SYSTEM_ROOTURIPATH`` ie set to ``/pdf-app`` to Set the application's root URI to ``localhost:8080/pdf-app``
 - ``SYSTEM_CONNECTIONTIMEOUTMINUTES`` to set custom connection timeout values
 - ``DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY`` to tell docker to download security jar (required as true for auth login)
+- ``INSTALL_BOOK_AND_ADVANCED_HTML_OPS`` to download calibre onto stirling-pdf enabling pdf to/from book and advanced html conversion
+- ``LANGS`` to define custom font libraries to install for use for document conversions
 
 ## API
+
 For those wanting to use Stirling-PDFs backend API to link with their own custom scripting to edit PDFs you can view all existing API documentation
 [here](https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/Stirling-Tools/Stirling-PDF/) or navigate to /swagger-ui/index.html of your stirling-pdf instance for your versions documentation (Or by following the API button in your settings of Stirling-PDF)

 ## Login authentication
+

 ### Prerequisites:
+
 - User must have the folder ./configs volumed within docker so that it is retained during updates.
 - Docker uses must download the security jar version by setting ``DOCKER_ENABLE_SECURITY`` to ``true`` in environment variables.
 - Then either enable login via the settings.yml file or via setting ``SECURITY_ENABLE_LOGIN`` to ``true``

 ## FAQ
 
 ### Q1: What are your planned features?
+
 - Progress bar/Tracking
 - Full custom logic pipelines to combine multiple operations together.
 - Folder support with auto scanning to perform operations on
 - Redact text (Via UI not just automated way)
 - Add Forms
 - Multi page layout (Stich PDF pages together) support x rows y columns and custom page sizing
-- Fill forms mannual and automatic
+- Fill forms manually or automatically
 
 ### Q2: Why is my application downloading .htm files?
+
 This is an issue caused commonly by your NGINX configuration. The default file upload size for NGINX is 1MB, you need to add the following in your Nginx sites-available file. ``client_max_body_size SIZE;`` Where "SIZE" is 50M for example for 50MB files.
 
 ### Q3: Why is my download timing out
+
 NGINX has timeout values by default so if you are running Stirling-PDF behind NGINX you may need to set a timeout value such as adding the config ``proxy_read_timeout 3600;``
