#### 39.4.4 Editing an output-specific configuration file

For settings that are specific to an output type or a group of output types, but that apply to all or most of your DITA source documents, DITA2Go maintains user-modifiable output-specific general configuration files in directory %OMSYSHOME%\d2g\local\config. You can customize these files with settings that are appropriate for your particular environment. Table 39-6 lists the output-specific general configuration files you can edit.

Near the top of each configuration file you will find a setting that links that file to an eponymous configuration template in \d2g\system\config that contains settings commonly needed for the output type you selected. Do not edit the referenced templates; they will be overwritten each time you update DITA2Go. Instead, override settings as needed in the editable configuration files.

For example, in local_d2xhtml_config.ini:

    [Templates]
    ; Where the rest of the configuration settings are:
    Configs=%omsyshome%\d2g\system\config\d2xhtml_config.ini

Avoid disturbing this setting, or you might break the chain that leads to all the other configuration settings for your conversion project.
