 +===== Introduction =====
 +
 +Garcon covers almost every part of the menu specification except for
 +legacy menus and a few XML attributes. In contrast to ''libxfce4menu'', it can also load menus modified with menu editors such as ''Alacarte'' as menu merging is now supported.

 +
 +===== Debugging Support =====
 +
 +''garcon'' currently supports three different levels of debugging support,
 +which can be setup using the configure flag ''--enable-debug'' (check the output
 +of ''configure --help''):
 +
 +| Argument  | Description |
 +| -------   | ----------- |
 +|  `yes`    | This is the default for Git snapshot builds. It adds all kinds of checks to the code, and is therefore likely to run slower. Use this for development of garcon and locating bugs in garcon. |
 +| `minimum` | This is the default for release builds. **This is the recommended behaviour.** |
 +| `no`      | Disables all sanity checks. Don't use this unless you know exactly what you do. |
