### 39.1 Working with configuration templates

A configuration template is a configuration file that contains settings that can be referenced by (and thus be included in) another configuration file. DITA2Go relies heavily on configuration templates to supply settings that seldom vary from project to project, or from one output type to another. This approach helps eliminate duplication of settings, and reduces the clutter in your project configuration file by limiting the latter to just those settings specific to your current project.
