-A sample setup file is [[ikiwiki.setup]]. Download it (or copy it from
-`doc/ikiwiki.setup` in the ikiwiki sources), and edit it. Note that this
-file should *not* be put in your wiki's directory with the rest of the
-files. A good place to put it is in a ~/.ikiwiki/ subdirectory.
+
+To generate a setup file, use `ikiwiki --dumpsetup`. You can pass
+all the options have you been including at the command line, and they
+will be stored in the setup file.

+ ikiwiki $SRCDIR $DESTDIR --url=http://example.org/~you/wiki/ --dumpsetup ikiwiki.setup
