Chapter 10 speaks about that alread?

Chapter 10: Configuration-files

For configuration options (arch/xxx/Kconfig, and all the Kconfig
files),
somewhat different indentation is used.

Help text is indented with 2 spaces.

if CONFIG_EXPERIMENTAL
tristate CONFIG_BOOM
default n
help
Apply nitroglycerine inside the keyboard (DANGEROUS)
bool CONFIG_CHEER
depends on CONFIG_BOOM
default y
help
Output nice messages when you explode
endif
