+              The <option>AddEncoding</option> directive allows you to specify an encoding type for a particular filename extension. This way, you can instruct some web browsers to uncompress certain file types as they are downloaded. The directive takes the following form:

+            <para>
+              The <replaceable>encoding</replaceable> option has to be a valid MIME encoding such as <literal>x-compress</literal>, <literal>x-gzip</literal> etc.
