 If pager.attend is present, pager.ignore will be ignored.
 
+Lastly, you can enable and disable paging for individual commands with
+the attend-<command> option. This setting takes precedence over
+existing attend and ignore options and defaults::
+
+  [pager]
+  attend-cat = false
+
 To ignore global commands like :hg:`version` or :hg:`help`, you have
 to specify them in your user configuration file.
 
 The --pager=... option can also be used to control when the pager is
 used. Use a boolean value like yes, no, on, off, or use auto for
 normal behavior.
