How to find parameters supported in Tesseract OCR config file

tesseract

Solution

Tesseract v3.04 now offers the command line option `--print-parameters`, so you can call `tesseract --print-parameters` to get a list of the 678 (!) configurable parameters, their default values, and a short description:

Tesseract parameters:
editor_image_xpos   590 Editor image X Pos
editor_image_ypos   10  Editor image Y Pos
editor_image_menuheight 50  Add to image height for menu bar
editor_image_word_bb_color  7   Word bounding box colour
editor_image_blob_bb_color  4   Blob bounding box colour
editor_image_text_color 2   Correct text colour
...and many, many more

Problem

I want to know what parameters the config file used by Tesseract OCR accepts, how to write a config file, etc. I can't find any documentation about this on their site. How can I determine what parameters are supported, and what they mean?
