+
+    <para>The VISO files was introduced with VirtualBox 5.2.  They are virtual ISO images,
+    i.e. constructed in memory from a bunch of files on the host.  A VISO is just the
+    recipe describing how to go about this using a syntax vaguely similar to mkisofs and
+    genisoimage.</para>
+
+    <para>One requirement, the VISO file must start with one of the
+    <option>--iprt-iso-maker-file-marker</option> options. Which of the options
+    you use will dicate the quoting and escaping rules used when reading the
+    file.  The option takes the image UUID as an argument.</para>
+
+    <para>The VISO files are treated as UTF-8 and must not contain any byte order
+    marker (BOM).  There is currently no way to comment out lines in a VISO file.</para>
