Syntax

name=value
; comment

For settings that accept multiple values, separated each value with a semicolon (;) or comma (,)

Use double quotes to escape ; or ,
While inside quotes, use \" and \\ to escape a literal " and \ respectively.
White-spaces are treated as literal.

Examples:
"text containing a semicolon ;";value2;another value
"text containing \"quotes\"";value2;another value
"text;containing;\"another\";list;C:\\Windows\\System32";a normal path that doesn't need to be escaped C:\Program Files;another value

Results:
text containing a semicolon ; ; value2 ; another value
text containing "quotes" ; value2 ; another value
text;containing;"another";list;C:\Windows\System32 ; a normal path that doesn't need to be escaped C:\Program Files ; another value
