+# Lightweight INI style Configuration manager
 
 ## Supports (currently)
 
 - Reading & processing sections from file.
-- Reading parameter/value pairs from an ini file.  
+- Reading parameter/value pairs from an ini file.
 - Converting readed values to int/float/string.
 - Building linked list from parameters.
 - Multiline values are supported.
 - Reading comments.
 - UNICODE/UTF8 support.
 - Escape sequence support.
+  
+**Automatically switch** between **UNIX ('\n')** and **Windows ('\r\n')** line endings. MAC ('\r' only) is not supported currently.
+**Comments** can be started with **';'** or **'#'** signs.
+**Multiline** values are supported if they are surrounded **with Double-Quotation-Mark (")** signs.

+Maximum line length can be 2^(32/2)^  characters.
 
 ## Future Plans  
 
 - Writing and Rewriting support for ini files.
 - Writing support for comments.
 - Modifying one or more values/parameters/sections in ini files.
