30.5.5 Editing a macro configuration file

Mif2Go provides several macro libraries in the form of macro configuration files, organized by output type. These files are located in %OMSYSHOME%\m2g\local\macros. You can add your own macros, and override macros in the default macro libraries they reference. Table 30-7 lists the macro configuration files you can edit.

Table 30-7 Macro configuration files

Output type	Editable macro configuration file
HTML	local_m2g_m2htm_macros.ini
Print RTF	local_m2g_m2rtf_macros.ini
WinHelp	local_m2g_m2winhelp_macros.ini

Macro libraries are referenced from output-specific configuration files; they can also be referenced from document-specific configuration files. Each editable macro library in turn references an eponymous macro library that contains all the macros distributed with Mif2Go. Do not edit those referenced libraries; they will be overwritten every time you update Mif2Go. To change a distributed macro, override it with a new definition in the appropriate \local\macros library.
