+@chapter Customizing CLark
+
+During start-up CLark looks for a file named @file{rc.lisp} either int
+@code{@var{xdg_config_dir}/clark} or in
+@code{@var{home}/.config/clark}. If it finds one it loads it. This
+allows for customization to happen.
+
+At the moment CLark offers very little customization. The only thing
+that can be done at the moment is write your own commands. For
+example, to easily show all your ``to read'' bookmarks, you could add
+the following to your @file{rc.lisp}:
+
+@lisp
+(defcommand toread ()
+  "Show bookmarks to read."
+  "Usage: clark toread
+
+Show all bookmarks that I should still read."
+  (call-command search "toread"))
+@end lisp
+
+@noindent
+assuming that you tag them with ``toread''. The syntax is fairly
+simple, if you're familiar with Lisp:
+
+@deffn Macro defcommand NAME ARGS SHORT-DOC LONG-DOC BODY...
+Defines a command @var{name}, which is callable from the command line.
+
+@var{args} is a lambda-list like the ones found in regular lisp
+@code{defun} calls. It gets pasted into a @code{defun}, so technically
+it supports anything @code{defun} does, but @code{&keys} arguments are
+not practically usable at the moment.
+
+The @var{short-doc} gets used as the command's docstring and is the
+short message you will see in the output of the general @samp{help}
+command.
+
+The @var{long-doc} is used to generate the @samp{help <command>} help
+message, it does not yet automatically print any usage information, it
+is your responsibility to provide this in this string.
+
+@var{body} is the body of the command, which is just like a regular
+Lisp function. It has access to the arguments as defined in @var{args}
+and anything any regular Lisp function does.
