Update documentation to let users know how to comment-out an existing option #8

Open AYasinAkalin opened 3 years ago

User asked if it is possible to comment-out or delete a line on Nexus Mods

It is possible to comment-out an existing option using the current syntax but it is not mentioned in documentation. Commenting out an option is disabling that option without removing its trace from the file.

Original option Modified option
Language=INT #Language=INT
Language is defined. Language is not defined. It is pseudo-commented.

Modified option will produce the expected result although what it really does is creating a new option with a number sign (#) in front of its name. This is why this approach is called pseudo-commenting [1].
