Document Type Configuration Files
Once you have created a document type, you can customize it for use with Arbortext Editor and Arbortext Publishing Engine by creating or editing a document type configuration file (.dcf). The .dcf file is an XML file based on the dcfdtd document type (Arbortext パス/doctypes/dcfdtd/dcfdtd.dtd).
You can edit or create a
.dcf file using the
DCF Editor in
Arbortext Architect.
The .dcf file can be saved in the same directory as the associated document type. It should have the same name as the document type (doctypename.dcf). You also can place a .dcf in a \custom\doctypes\doctype directory. The doctype directory name and the base file name of the .dcf must be the same as the base document type name. For example, you could customize the default Arbortext XML DocBook axdocbook.dcf, and then put it in Arbortext パス\custom\doctypes\axdocbook to override the default .dcf.
Use the .dcf file to configure the following features:
• Options element — Configures document type-scoped settings.
◦ Application toolbar functionality (see Configuring and enabling the Application toolbar in the Administrator's Guide)
