+
+    @section intro INTRODUCTION
+
+    This component allows an INI-style configuration file to be used on both
+    Windows and Linux/Unix. It is fast, simple and source code using this
+    component will compile unchanged on either OS.
+
+
+    @section features FEATURES
+
+    - MIT Licence allows free use in all software (including GPL and commercial)
+    - multi-platform (Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2K/XP/2003, Windows CE, Linux, Unix)
+    - loading and saving of INI-style configuration files
+    - configuration files can have any newline format on all platforms
+    - liberal acceptance of file format
+        - key/values with no section
+        - removal of whitespace around sections, keys and values
+    - support for multi-line values (values with embedded newline characters)
+    - optional support for multiple keys with the same name
+    - optional case-insensitive sections and keys (for ASCII characters only)
+    - saves files with sections and keys in the same order as they were loaded
+    - preserves comments on the file, section and keys where possible.
+    - supports both char or wchar_t programming interfaces
+    - supports both MBCS (system locale) and UTF-8 file encodings
+    - system locale does not need to be UTF-8 on Linux/Unix to load UTF-8 file
+    - support for non-ASCII characters in section, keys, values and comments
+    - support for non-standard character types or file encodings
+      via user-written converter classes
+    - support for adding/modifying values programmatically
+    - compiles cleanly in the following compilers:
+        - Windows/VC6 (warning level 3)
+        - Windows/VC.NET 2003 (warning level 4)
+        - Windows/VC 2005 (warning level 4)
+        - Linux/gcc (-Wall)
+
+
+    @section usage USAGE SUMMARY
+
+    -#  Define the appropriate symbol for the converter you wish to use and
+        include the SimpleIni.h header file. If no specific converter is defined
+        then the default converter is used. The default conversion mode uses
+        SI_CONVERT_WIN32 on Windows and SI_CONVERT_GENERIC on all other
+        platforms. If you are using ICU then SI_CONVERT_ICU is supported on all
+        platforms.
+    -#  Declare an instance the appropriate class. Note that the following
+        definitions are just shortcuts for commonly used types. Other types
+        (PRUnichar, unsigned short, unsigned char) are also possible.

+        #2  Only affects Windows. On Windows this uses MBCS functions and
+            so may fold case incorrectly leading to uncertain results.
+    -# Call Load() or LoadFile() to load and parse the INI configuration file

+    -# Call Save() or SaveFile() to save the INI configuration data
+
+    @section iostreams IO STREAMS
+
+    SimpleIni supports reading from and writing to STL IO streams. Enable this
+    by defining SI_SUPPORT_IOSTREAMS before including the SimpleIni.h header
+    file. Ensure that if the streams are backed by a file (e.g. ifstream or
+    ofstream) then the flag ios_base::binary has been used when the file was
+    opened.
+
+    @section multiline MULTI-LINE VALUES
+
+    Values that span multiple lines are created using the following format.
+
+        <pre>
+        key = <<<ENDTAG
+        .... multiline value ....
+        ENDTAG
+        </pre>
+
+    Note the following:
+    - The text used for ENDTAG can be anything and is used to find
+      where the multi-line text ends.
+    - The newline after ENDTAG in the start tag, and the newline
+      before ENDTAG in the end tag is not included in the data value.
+    - The ending tag must be on it's own line with no whitespace before
+      or after it.
+    - The multi-line value is modified at load so that each line in the value
+      is delimited by a single '\\n' character on all platforms. At save time
+      it will be converted into the newline format used by the current
+      platform.
+
+    @section comments COMMENTS
+
+    Comments are preserved in the file within the following restrictions:
+    - Every file may have a single "file comment". It must start with the
+      first character in the file, and will end with the first non-comment
+      line in the file.
+    - Every section may have a single "section comment". It will start
+      with the first comment line following the file comment, or the last
+      data entry. It ends at the beginning of the section.
+    - Every key may have a single "key comment". This comment will start
+      with the first comment line following the section start, or the file
+      comment if there is no section name.
+    - Comments are set at the time that the file, section or key is first
+      created. The only way to modify a comment on a section or a key is to
+      delete that entry and recreate it with the new comment. There is no
+      way to change the file comment.
+
+    @section save SAVE ORDER
+
+    The sections and keys are written out in the same order as they were
+    read in from the file. Sections and keys added to the data after the
+    file has been loaded will be added to the end of the file when it is
+    written. There is no way to specify the location of a section or key
+    other than in first-created, first-saved order.
+
+    @section notes NOTES
+
+    - To load UTF-8 data on Windows 95, you need to use Microsoft Layer for
+      Unicode, or SI_CONVERT_GENERIC, or SI_CONVERT_ICU.
+    - When using SI_CONVERT_GENERIC, ConvertUTF.c must be compiled and linked.
+    - When using SI_CONVERT_ICU, ICU header files must be on the include
+      path and icuuc.lib must be linked in.
+    - To load a UTF-8 file on Windows AND expose it with SI_CHAR == char,
+      you should use SI_CONVERT_GENERIC.
+    - The collation (sorting) order used for sections and keys returned from
+      iterators is NOT DEFINED. If collation order of the text is important
+      then it should be done yourself by either supplying a replacement
+      SI_STRLESS class, or by sorting the strings external to this library.
+    - Usage of the <mbstring.h> header on Windows can be disabled by defining
+      SI_NO_MBCS. This is defined automatically on Windows CE platforms.

+
+    This can be instantiated with the choice of unicode or native characterset,

+    The supported combinations are pre-defined with the following typedefs:
