3.1 Working with DITA2Go
configuration files
To add or change conversion settings after you set
up a DITA2Go project, you must edit the contents of one or more
configuration files: text files with file extension .ini.
You will need two tools to work effectively with DITA2Go
configuration files:
- The DITA2Go Configuration
Manager, to see and manipulate individual sections and settings selected
from all relevant configuration files and system templates that apply
to your project; see §3.2 Editing
files with the Configuration Manager
- A text editor (even Notepad)
to inspect and optionally edit all sections and settings in individual
configuration files:
- Make sure you use only ANSI, or UTF-8,
encoding; do not use UTF-16 for configuration files.
- Do not use Word, or any other application
that gets an exclusive-write lock on files.
You might find it useful to have both tools open at
once, so you can readily see in context, in the text editor, any changes
you make with the Configuration Manager.
