Hi Thomas, I am not aware of a parser that supports this format i [configuration]. Looking at JIRA, the closest I found was CONFIGURATION-324, which appears to work with the code from master (didn't have time to check out the latest release). But the CONFIGURATION-324 requires a \ at the end of the value. I tested your file, and if you add a space + \ at the end of the configuration files, then it works.
https://gist.github.com/kinow/4f20183e579f5b33535446146daf2e69 I think if nobody else replies here, if you could create an issue in JIRA that'd be great, as eventually someone would volunteer to add that either to an existing parser, or to a new one. I tested Python 3's configparser std lib module, and it parses your file successfully with no changes (`config['core']['links']` returns the data as-is, with the line-breaks etc).

I need to parse files like this one : https://github.com/glottolog/glottolog/blob/master/languoids/tree/abin1243/md.ini, and if I access configuration entry like "glottolog" on line 19 I am getting an empty string since the values are on the following lines. ConfigParser in Python does support multiline values : https://docs.python.org/3/library/configparser.html Is there an option I missed in the INIConfiguration to handle multiline values ? or is completely out of hope ?
