Lines starting with # and ; (configurable; after leading whitespace removal) are treated as comments.
|
|
- Comments must appear on their own line.
|
|
Values can optionally be bookmarked with single or double quotes.
|
|
- If quotes are to be used, they must be the first and last characters of the value
|
|
- Occurances of the bookending quotes to be used within the value must be \ escaped. ???
|
|
- Whitespace within the quotes is retained verbatim.
|
|
- Backslash line continuation is supported within quotes (but leading whitespace on subsequent lines is removed).
|
|
Values can be continued by use of \ in the last column.
|
|
- Subsequent lines are subject to leading whitespace removal as normal.
|
|
- Comments are not recognised on subsequent lines - they are treated as part of the value.
|
|
Escaping of shell special characters is not required. ???
