the inverse of this: for example, if you select 2 columns and 3 rows,
each actual block will have 3 columns and 2 rows.)
+You can introduce an optional extra constraint on the puzzles,
+requiring that the two main diagonals of the grid also contain one
+of every digit. (This is sometimes known as \q{Sudoku-X} in
+newspapers.) In this mode, the squares on the two main diagonals
+will be shaded slightly so that you know it's enabled.

You can also configure the type of symmetry shown in the generated
puzzles. More symmetry makes the puzzles look prettier but may also
make them easier, since the symmetry constraints can force more

+
+You have a grid of squares, some of which contain digits, and the
+rest of which are empty. Your job is to fill in digits in the empty
+squares, in such a way that each connected region of squares all
+containing the same digit has an area equal to that digit.
+
+(\q{Connected region}, for the purposes of this game, does not count
+diagonally separated squares as adjacent.)
+
+For example, it follows that no square can contain a zero, and that
+two adjacent squares can not both contain a one. No region has an
+area greater than 9 (because then its area would not be a single
+digit).

+
+To play Filling, simply click the mouse in any empty square and then
+type a digit on the keyboard to fill that square. By dragging the
+mouse, you can select multiple squares to fill with a single keypress.
+If you make a mistake, click the mouse in the incorrect square and
+press 0, Space, Backspace or Enter to clear it again (or use the Undo
+feature).
+
+(All the actions described in \k{common-actions} are also available.)

+\H{filling-parameters} \I{parameters, for Filling}Filling parameters
+
+Filling allows you to configure the number of rows and columns of the
+grid, through the \q{Type} menu.
