@b4n, ok, I missed the "are" that wasn't there (its "are a few" not "is a few" because the "are" refers to the multiple "few", not the singular "a", damn English) :grin:

I was checking if @andy5995 left something out because this doesn't sound right, "several" implies a low number.

Now that you made me count them, actually Geany has 21 options, in idiomatic English that is neither "a few" or "several".  In fact it is more like"quite a few" though of course it is indeed "only a few" compared to GCC (damn English) :grin:

@andy5995 maybe combine the sentences into "For the command line options see the ...." and avoid the numerative ambiguity altogether.
