+available; and styles can also be disabled entirely.

+Subcommands of @code{set style} control specific forms of styling.
+These subcommands all follow the same pattern: each style-able object
+can be styled with a foreground color, a background color, and an
+intensity.
+
+For example, the style of file names can be controlled using the
+@code{set style filename} group of commands:
+
+@table @code
+@item set style filename background @var{color}
+Set the background to @var{color}. Valid colors are @samp{none}
+(meaning the terminal's default color), @samp{black}, @samp{red},
+@samp{green}, @samp{yellow}, @samp{vlue}, @samp{magenta}, @samp{cyan},
+and@samp{white}.
+
+@item set style filename foreground @var{color}
+Set the foreground to @var{color}. Valid colors are @samp{none}
+(meaning the terminal's default color), @samp{black}, @samp{red},
+@samp{green}, @samp{yellow}, @samp{vlue}, @samp{magenta}, @samp{cyan},
+and@samp{white}.
+
+@item set style filename intensity @var{value}
+Set the intensity to @var{value}. Valid intensities are @samp{normal}
+(the default), @samp{bold}, and @samp{dim}.
+@end table
+
+The style-able objects are:
+@table @code
+@item filename
+Control the styling of file names.
+
+@item function
+Control the styling of function names. These are managed with the
+@code{set style function} family of commands.

+@code{set style variable} family of commands.
