Where can I find a list about all the possible things I can do with a .rdf file

Hello All,
 
I am just starting with doing roads and I can't seem to find a list or something of all the possible ways I can configure a .rdf file.
 
Adding symmetric stuff is easy (bumps and so on), but I also have to add asymmetric stuff later on and I can only find one example with a pothole
 
Tl,dr: Need a list, table or anything really that details what I can do with a .rdf file​
 
Thanks in Advance!

    And the documentation does not provide you answers?

    The problem is that an rdf-file can be in several different formats; 2D, 3D spline and 3D shell. All with their own features and advantages and specific syntax. So it is very hard to summarize it all in one table.
