Config Files Help Please ^_^

Hey guys, I am brand new to Java and Bukkit plugin development and I have a few things I need help with as I am trying to learn how to do stuff with config files.

I need to know how to read multiple lines from 1 node such as

Code:

MOTD: Line #1
Line #2
Line #3
Line #4

Or something similar to the MCDocs plugin where I can just display a file and the formating would match the file.


Second thing I need to know is how to make a plugin auto-generate a config file with some Pre-generated text. Sorry if these feel like something that is Pre-School level to you guys. But I am really new and I am open to learning new things. Thanks for any help you guys can provide

Is there no one that can help me with this, I know how to read from a single line such as

Code:

motd1:
motd2:
motd3:

I just want to allow users to be able to make their MOTD a custom length, without having the need to have a fixed number of lines.
