<HEAD><TITLE>Configuration Files</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
FTE configuration files are version specific, and must be recompiled
with each new version of the editor.
<P>On startup, editor will attempt to load a configuration file with
the basename as the executable and extension <TT>.CNF</TT>. The
configuration file is produced by compiling source files with <I>CFTE</I>.
<P>If the command line option <TT>-!</TT> is used, editor will not
attempt to load a configuration file and will use default built-in
settings.
<H1><A NAME="config-compiling">Compiling configuration</A></H1>
<P>Configuration files are compiled using <I>CFTE</I> program.
<P> <I>cfte</I> should be invoked on <TT>main.fte</TT>, for example:
<PRE>
[C:\FTE] cfte config\main.fte
$ cfte config/main.fte
</PRE>
<P>This will automatically compile all <TT>*.fte</TT> files included
from <TT>main.fte</TT> and produce <TT>fte-new.cnf</TT> if there
are no errors in source files.
<P>When configuration source files are sucessfully compiled, the resulting file <TT>fte-new.cnf</TT> should be copied to
<TT>fte.cnf</TT> and <TT>ftepm.cnf</TT>, or under Unix to <TT>~/.fterc</TT>
<P>After FTE is properly configured with the above procedure, you can
select Options/Recompile Configuration from FTE menu bar, and FTE will
invoke <I>CFTE</I> to recompile the configuration.
<H1><A NAME="config-syntax">Configuration file syntax</A></H1>
<P> Comments start with character <TT>#</TT> and last until the end
of line.
<P> Strings can be specified using any of <TT>' " /</TT> characters.
<P> Single quoted strings perform no substitution. To enter <TT>'</TT>
or <TT>\</TT> into a string precede it with a backslash.
<P> Double quoted strings perform the following substitutions:
<PRE>
\t -> ^I, tab character
\r -> ^M, CR
\n -> ^J, LF
\e -> ^[, escape character
\v -> ^L, vertical tab
\b -> ^H, backspace
\a -> ^G, bell
</PRE>
<P> Strings started by <TT>/</TT> character require no escaping (except
for '/'). Mostly useful for specifying <A HREF="regexp.html">regular
expressions</A> without double backslashes that are necessary in single
and double quoted strings.
