As said in the linked blog post, I was pondering whether to use the <a href="https://bitbucket.org/galaxy/galaxy-central/wiki/ToolConfigSyntax" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Galaxy Toolconfig</a> format or the <a href="http://www.docbook.org/tdg/en/html/cmdsynopsis.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DocBook CmdSynopsis format</a> . It turned out though Well, that cmdsynopsis lacks the option to specify a list of valid choices, for a parameter, as is possible in the Galaxy ToolConfig format (see <a href="http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Tool%20Config%20Syntax#A.3Coptions.3E_tag_set" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here</a> ), and thus can be used to generate drop-down lists in wizards etc. which is basically what I want to do &hellip; so, now I&rsquo;m going with the Galaxy format after all.</p>
