Brett,

-The service type for the TLP tool. Its value should be a valid -TLP configuration (see below). To use the default settings, simply

I would replace "as its value:" with "to the service type:", so it reads "... but you can tweak them to your heart's content by passing a valid
tlp-configuration to the service type:"

Ding. You picked up on the same niggle that bugged me — both in the original & here. I thought I'd just stared at it for too long.

‘Value’ is a reference to the terminology used in (gnu services). ‘To the service type’ sounds less accurate. I find the sentence close to clunky is it is; what about a short and sweet:

+The service type for the TLP tool. The default settings are optimised +for battery life on most systems, but you can tweak them to your heart's
+content by adding a valid @code{tlp-configuration}:
           ^^^^^^

Now I've definitely stared at this for too long. How typical for a prose patch :-)

Otherwise, it looks great to me!

Thanks,

T G-R
