    * Keys that don't need be overridden unless in special cases are:
 
+     ``'maxlistdepth'``
+        LaTeX allows by default at most 6 levels for nesting list and
+        quote-like environments, with at most 4 enumerated lists, and 4 bullet
+        lists. Setting this key for example to ``'10'`` (as a string) will
+        allow up to 10 nested levels (of all sorts). Leaving it to the empty
+        string means to obey the LaTeX default.
+
+        .. warning::
+
+           - Using this key may prove incompatible with some LaTeX packages
+             or special document classes which do their own list customization.
+
+           - The key setting is silently *ignored* in presence of "enumitem".
+             Use then rather the dedicated commands of this LaTeX package.

      ``'inputenc'``
         "inputenc" package inclusion, defaults to
         ``'\\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}'`` when using pdflatex.
