 ## Patching
 Since dwl follows [suckless] philosophy it doesn't provide every feature under the sun. To broaden dwl's functionality, one needs to get familiar with the concept of patching. To get your feet wet, consult [the hacking page] of the suckless website. Once you're ready to customize your build, proceed to the [dwl-patches wiki][wiki] which contains a categorized listing and a searchable sidebar index of all available patches.
