+INLINE FILE SUPPORT
+===================
+
+OpenVPN allows including files in the main configuration for the ``--ca``,
+``--cert``, ``--dh``, ``--extra-certs``, ``--key``, ``--pkcs12``,
+``--secret``, ``--crl-verify``, ``--http-proxy-user-pass``, ``--tls-auth``,
+``--auth-gen-token-secret``, ``--tls-crypt`` and ``--tls-crypt-v2``
+options.
+
+Each inline file started by the line ``<option>`` and ended by the line
+``</option>``
+
+Here is an example of an inline file usage
+
+::
+
+    <cert>
+    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
+    [...]
+    -----END CERTIFICATE-----
+    </cert>
+
+When using the inline file feature with ``--pkcs12`` the inline file has
+to be base64 encoded. Encoding of a .p12 file into base64 can be done
+for example with OpenSSL by running :code:`openssl base64 -in input.p12`
