#### 7.1.1 Setq or customize - what should i use?

The best way to customize all the options of ECB is via the customize-feature of (X)Emacs, i.e. means calling the commands `customize-option` or `customize-group` etc. This is also the strongly recommended way!

But you can also use `setq` or some Elisp-code to change the values of many but not all of the options. The values of the following options MUST NOT be changed via `setq` or Elisp-code but only with the customize-feature!
