Manticore Search's configuration file supports comments, which help provide explanations or notes within the configuration file. The # character is used to start a comment section. You can place the comment character either at the beginning of a line or inline within a line.
When using comments, be cautious when incorporating the # character in character tokenization settings, as everything following it will be ignored. To prevent this, use the # UTF-8 code, which is U+23.
If you need to use the # character within your configuration file, such as within database credentials in source declarations, you can escape it using a backslash \. This allows you to include the # character in your settings without it being interpreted as the start of a comment.
