5.2 Option settings

Lines containing an '=' sign are interpretted to be option settings. The line is stripped of comments and split on the first '='. Both the option name and setting are stripped of leading and trailing white space.

Multiline settings may exist with the use of XML notation to encapsulate the setting. The  and <v> tags are available for this purpose. The  tag is short for "block" and is useful for most purposes. The <v> tag is short for "verbatim" and is the same as block except that text encapsulated is not subjected to the text substitution algorithms described in "Text Substitution" (section 5.5). The  and <v> tags may not be nested within themselves. <v> takes precedence over .

Option names are case sensitive and may not contain the [ ] = characters nor use the or <v> tags.

For example:

opt1 = simple # comment
opt2=simple # same 

opt3 = <b> # not a comment (actually line 0 of setting)
Line 1 of a multi-line setting
Line 2 of a multi-line setting
</b> # comment can go here
