### 3.7 Commenting out configuration sections

If you need to comment out an entire section in your project configuration file, perhaps to test an alternative approach, you can place a semicolon at the beginning of each setting in that section. An easier way is to place a semicolon after the opening bracket of the section head; for example:

    [;Templates]

This has the effect of giving that section a name that has no meaning to DITA2Go, so the settings for that section will be ignored.

Note: If you place the semicolon before the opening bracket, the settings will become part of the previous configuration section, rarely what you want.
