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.
