+        |Daffodil provides tunables as a way to change its behavior.
+        |Tunables are set by way of the ``tunables`` element in [config files](/configuration)
+        |or from the [cli](/cli) via the ``-T`` option.
+        |
+        |#### Config Example
+        | ``` xml
+        | <daf:dfdlConfig
+        |	xmlns:daf="urn:ogf:dfdl:2013:imp:daffodil.apache.org:2018:ext">
+        |    <daf:tunables>
+        |      <daf:suppressSchemaDefinitionWarnings>
+        |        encodingErrorPolicyError
+        |      </daf:suppressSchemaDefinitionWarnings>
+        |    </daf:tunables>
+        |</daf:dfdlConfig>
+        | ```
+        |
+        | The config file can then be passed into daffodil subcommands via the ``-c|--config`` options.
+        |
+        |#### CLI Example
+        | ``` bash
+        | daffodil parse -s schema.xsd -TsuppressSchemaDefinitionWarnings="encodingErrorPolicyError" data.bin
+        | ```
+        |
+        |
