> 30 Working with templates > 30.1 Working with configuration templates > 30.1.1 Understanding how templates are organized
Your Mif2Go distribution includes the collections of configuration
templates listed in Table B%OMSYSHOME%\m2g
subdirectories, to the very end of the
configuration chain at %OMSYSHOME%\common\system\config\omsys.ini
.
See §30.1.3 Understanding how templates are chained together
Configuration templates include the following groups:
General
configuration settings, located in config
directories
Macro
definitions, located in macros
directories
Each template in a system
subdirectory is paired with an editable configuration file in the corresponding
local
subdirectory. The system
member of each pair contains default settings. The local
member of each pair starts out empty; you add settings to override the
default settings referenced in the system
member.
Your configuration files always reference the local
member. The local
member references its system
counterpart, which in turn references the local
member of the next template up the chain.
General configuration settings
The settings in general configuration templates establish default values for features that are not likely to differ from one project to the next, or from one output type to the next. General configuration templates are located in the following directories:
%OMSYSHOME%\m2g\system\config
: default
general configuration settings
%OMSYSHOME%\m2g\local\config
: your
overrides to the system settings
General-purpose macros are defined in macro library templates. Each configuration section in these templates is the name of the macro being defined. Macro library templates are located in the following directories:
%OMSYSHOME%\m2g\system\macros
: definitions
of general-purpose macros
%OMSYSHOME%\m2g\local\macros
: definitions
of your own macros
