		<help>&lt;i&gt;INIshell&lt;/i&gt; aims to facilitate controlling software with text-based settings which is normally run in a terminal. With fast-changing simulation software and fast-changing requirements it needs to be flexible enough to quickly adapt to changes in the controlled program's available settings and syntax.</help>

		<help>This is realized by reading an application's available settings at runtime from an XML file. This XML file describes to &lt;i&gt;INIshell&lt;/i&gt; which parameters the controlled model knows, and of what type they are. &lt;i&gt;INIshell&lt;/i&gt; takes this information and builds a panel the user can interact with to change the specific key. This way, if the controlled software changes, these changes only need to be reflected in the describing XML file, but not in &lt;i&gt;INIshell&lt;/i&gt;'s source code. &lt;br&gt;</help>

				&lt;li&gt;Each frame/parameter can have a &lt;code&gt;section&lt;/code&gt; tag as child node.&lt;/li&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;Parameters that don't have a parent section will be defaulted to the default section at the top level.&lt;/li&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;Children can not switch parents, so the parent's section counts.&lt;/li&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;But you can supply as many &lt;code&gt;parent&lt;/code&gt; sections as you like. Then each child can tell in a list of their own &lt;code&gt;section&lt;/code&gt; tags if it should be built for this specific section or not.&lt;/li&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;This is also possible for some child panel's items. For example, an &lt;code&gt;Alternative&lt;/code&gt; panel (a dropdown list) can be set to contribute both to the &lt;code&gt;[INPUT]&lt;/code&gt; and the &lt;code&gt;[OUTPUT]&lt;/code&gt; section. The individual items can be set to appear in either or both of the sections by giving &lt;code&gt;section&lt;/code&gt; child nodes.&lt;/li&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;You may alternatively supply the &lt;code&gt;section&lt;/code&gt; attribute to the panel's node itself.&lt;/li&gt;

				&lt;li&gt;The section format (color, capitalization) is taken from the first occurrence of the &lt;code&gt;section&lt;/code&gt; tag.&lt;/li&gt;

			<help>Normally, all child panels of an Alternative panel are always built. This way, a user can switch between some different modes of operation and still keep their settings for all of them - even if currently unused.&lt;br&gt;
				Some dropdown lists however are so complex that if they control a large number of INI keys, building all child panels for each setting has a considerable impact on performance. For this reason you can use the &lt;i&gt;pre-generate=false&lt;/i&gt; mode which will tell &lt;i&gt;INIshell&lt;/i&gt; to only build child panels on first request, i. e. when the list item is first selected. This mode is best suited for:&lt;ul&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;Settings that will not change often. E. g. in &lt;i&gt;MeteoIO&lt;/i&gt; it will hardly ever be necessary to configure more than one input plugin at the same time and switch between them frequently.&lt;/li&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;Settings where it is a reasonable assumption that the parent key is always found before child settings. E. g. in &lt;i&gt;MeteoIO&lt;/i&gt; we make request that TA::FILTERS1 = MIN must be found before TA::ARG1::MIN so that the child panels are built.&lt;/li&gt;
				&lt;li&gt;Settings where you can set the default value to the parent that needs children.&lt;/li&gt;
				&lt;/ul&gt;
			Remember that unknown INI keys are transported to the output, so they will be there in any case, but they won't interact with the GUI if the pre-generate=false mode is not suitable for this setting. Enable this mode by setting &lt;code&gt;pre-generate="false"&lt;/code&gt; in the Alternative's attributes.</help>
