#### 4.1.10 Specifying how to treat cases, spaces, and wildcards

You can choose how DITA2Go interprets paragraph, character, and table format names, to match them to settings in the configuration file:

    [Options]
    ; CaselessMatch = Yes (default, ignore upper/lower differences) or No
    CaselessMatch = Yes
    ; SpacelessMatch = Yes (default, ignore embedded spaces) or No
    SpacelessMatch = Yes
    ; WildcardMatch = Yes (default, allow ? and * in settings) or No
    WildcardMatch = Yes

The default settings help eliminate hard-to-spot typing errors. However, you might have to change one or more of these settings if any format names in your document:

- differ only in case (such as Body and body): set CaselessMatch=No.
- differ only by spaces (such as Lastbullet and Last bullet): set SpacelessMatch=No.
- contain asterisks or question marks: set WildcardMatch=No. See §3.6 Using wildcards in configuration settings.
