### 13.4.4 Including or omitting HTML/XML generator information

The header of each HTML and XML file generated by Mif2Go contains an element identifying the Mif2Go program that generated the file. By default this element appears in a comment. For example:

<!-- generated by DCL filter dwhtm, Ver 3.0 -->

You can put this information in a meta tag instead, with the following setting:

[HTMLOptions]

; GeneratorTag = Comment (dwhtm version in comment), Meta (tag),

; or None (omit)

GeneratorTag = Meta

The generator information is included for accountability, and for troubleshooting; a programmer working with a file created by Mif2Go can identify the software version that produced the file.

You can omit the generator information by specifying GeneratorTag=None. However, if you need to send files to Omni Systems for support, our developers absolutely need that information to tell what version of Mif2Go created the file. It is also helpful for downstream tool vendors, such as editor providers, to know how a file was created. This is an industry standard practice, and the comment form of GeneratorTag should be quite harmless.
