- <p>EditorConfig files use an INI format that is compatible with the format used by <a href="https://docs.python.org/2/library/configparser.html">Python ConfigParser Library</a>, but <code>[</code> and <code>]</code> are allowed in the section names. The section names are filepath <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)">globs</a> (case sensitive), similar to the format accepted by <a href="https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore#_pattern_format">gitignore</a>. Only forward slashes (<code>/</code>, not backslashes) are used as path separators and octothorpes (<code>#</code>) or semicolons (<code>;</code>) are used for comments. Comments should go on their own lines. EditorConfig files should be UTF-8 encoded, with either <code><abbr title="Carriage Return Line Feed">CRLF</abbr></code> or <code><abbr title="Line Feed">LF</abbr></code> line separators. EditorConfig files are read top to bottom and the most recent rules found take precedence.</p>
