{{< note "This documentation is incomplete." >}}

A plaintext configuration file.

# Structure

The file is plaintext, which is easy to parse. The file is split into categories, which are surrounded by `<` and `>`. Within those categories are key-value pairs which are separated by tab characters (`\t`).
