 The `toc` variable in frontmatter has priority. If it is set `false` then the config file is ignored. It is recommended to not set use the config file and enable the ToC for individual pages. Otherwise, it can be enabled for all pages in the config file and disabled for specific pages using the frontmatter.

+You can customize the `404.html` page in the config menu. For extensive customization you can modify the template at `hugo-octopress\layouts\404.html`.
+
+There are two optional parameters in the config file and both support markdown:
+
+* notfound_header: 404 page title
+* notfound_text: 404 page text
+
+If they are not set in the config file, a default page is generated.
