Frequently Asked Questions
Are INI comments preserved?
Yes. Comments beginning with a semicolon or hash character should remain associated with their original section or setting.
Is there one universal INI standard?
No. INI syntax varies between applications. Features such as duplicate keys, escaping, arrays, multiline values, and inline comments may be interpreted differently.
Is my INI configuration uploaded?
No. INI parsing and formatting run locally in your browser.
