Configuration
As the recommended standard for datatypes, each Datatype should provide a preference file, that is named `<datatypename>.prefs' and searched first in the ` PROGDIR:Prefs/DataTypes' and then in `Env:DataTypes' directory.

The format of this preference file isn't defined, but most of the Datatypes uses ASCII files, which are parsed using the dos.library/ReadArgs() function. This format is used for all HTDS datatypes.

The following links point to the configuration documentation of the appropriate Datatype :

• hypertext.datatype
  
• hyperguide.datatype
  
• html.datatype
  
• directory.datatype
  
• man.datatype
  
• productinfo.datatype
  
• htdsascii.datatype
  
• catalog.datatype
