 Each [[ini_files#named section]] identifies the module which is being configured and the ''key=//value//'' pairs in that section are used to set configuration options for that module.
+If you find that an expected section or key is not present in the file and you want to modify that section or key, just add it.
 ===== Use =====
 JavaScript module authors use the ''modopts.ini'' file by adding a single line to their ''.js'' file:
-  options=load(new Object, "modopts.js", "mymodule");
+<code javascript>
+options=load(new Object, "modopts.js", "mymodule");
+</code>
 where "mymodule" is replaced with the JavaScript's module name (typically the module's main script filename, without the ''.js'' extension).

 Example ''modopts.ini'' section:
-<file>
+<code ini>
 [mymodule]
 enable_cool_feature=true
-</file>
+</code>
+Options that need literal values should use a ':' like this:
+<code ini>
+[xtrn_sec]
+which: \r\n\1-\1gWhich or \1h~Q\1n\1guit: \1h
+</code>
 Example module use of modopts in a fictional example module named "mymodule" (e.g. ''mymodule.js''):
-<code>
+<code javascript>
 options=load(new Object, "modopts.js", "mymodule");
