Frequently asked questions

What does the INI formatter change?

It trims each line, puts one blank line before every [section] header, and rewrites entries as 'key = value' with a single space on each side of the equals sign.

Are comments preserved?

Yes. Lines starting with ; or # are kept as-is so your documentation and disabled settings stay in place.

Does it validate the INI file?

It normalizes structure rather than strictly validating. Entries without an equals sign are passed through unchanged so nothing is lost.
