        Common configuration for all flow nodes.
    </p>
    <h3>Details</h3>
    <p>
        This configuration holds common configuration for all fllow nodes like
        e.g. the geographical location in form of latitude and longitude, the
        time zone if required to be different from the host running Node-RED,
        the behavior on daylight saving change and custom sun positions.
    </p>
    <p>
        For more information, please refer to the detailed documentation in the
        <a href="https://github.com/jensrossbach/node-red-contrib-chronos/wiki/Configuration-Node">repository wiki</a>.
    </p>
    <h3>Configuration</h3>
    <dt>Name</dt>
    <dd>
        The name of the configuration (optional).
    </dd>
    <dt>Latitude</dt>
    <dd>
        The latitude as floating point value between -90° and 90° or the name
        of an environment or global context variable containing the latitude.
    </dd>
    <dt>Longitude</dt>
    <dd>
        The longitude as floating point value between -180° and 180° or the name
        of an environment or global context variable containing the longitude.
    </dd>
    <dt>Location Detection</dt>
    <dd>
        Press this button to automatically detect your position and fill the
        latitude and longitude fields. The button is only visible if your
        browser supports the geolocation feature. You will be asked for allowance
        of locality determination.
    </dd>
    <dt>Time Zone</dt>
    <dd>
        <p>
            The name of a valid <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones">time zone identifier</a>
            or the name of an environment or global context variable containing
            the time zone identifier. If omitted, the time zone configured on
            the host which runs Node-RED is used.
        </p>
        <p>
            <b>Note:</b> A programmatic calculation of the time zone from the
            geographical coordinates is not performed!
        </p>
    </dd>
    <dt>Behavior when daylight saving time starts</dt>
    <dd>
        The behavior when daylight saving time starts, i.e. skip, shift or
        insert trigger(s) during the missing hour in the appropriate night.
        Currently, this affects only cron table mode of scheduler node and
        advanced mode of repeat node.
    </dd>
    <dt>Skip repeated hour at end of daylight saving time</dt>
    <dd>
        If selected, the repeated hour in the night when daylight saving time ends
        is skipped. Currently, this affects only cron table mode of scheduler node
        and advanced mode of repeat node.
    </dd>
    <dt>Sun Positions</dt>
    <dd>
        List of user-defined sun positions. New entries can be added using the
        button below the list. Existing entries can be reordered or deleted.
        Each entry in the list can be configured as follows:
        <ul>
            <li>
                The solar zenith angle above (positive value) or below (negative
                value) the horizon in degrees.
            </li>
            <li>
                The name of the position for rising sun.
            </li>
            <li>
                The name of the position for setting sun.
            </li>
        </ul>
        Names can be composed of letters, digits and underscores and must be
        unique.
    </dd>
