Purpose of the SGML Author Section in the MSTXTCNV.INI File

ID: Q127998

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

This article lists the settings in the [SGML Author] section of the MSTXTCNV.INI file. The SGML Author section consists of the following lines:

   [SGML Author]
   Return Status=0
   Entity Catalog=C:\WINWORD\SGMLCONV\ENTM.CAT
   FeedBackFile=yes
   ParseSGMLOutput=yes

MORE INFORMATION

Return Status

The converter writes the Return Status flag to the MSTXTCNV.INI file for use by the SaveAsSGML macro.

Entity Catalog

The Entity Catalog setting stores the path for the public entity catalog file ENTM.CAT. During installation, Setup creates the entry in the [SGML Author] section.

FeedBackFile

This flag determines whether a feedback file will be generated after converting a Word document to SGML. When this setting is set to Yes, the converter creates a copy of the original Word document and inserts annotations to note changes made to create a parsable SGML instance. When this setting is set to No, the converter writes errors to an ASCII file called SGMLTEMP.ERR. This setting is controlled through the Conversion Parameters dialog box.

ParseSGMLOutput

This flag determines whether the converter will parse the resulting SGML instance after converting the Word document to SGML. This option only affects conversions from Word to SGML; an SGML instance is always parsed when converting from SGML to Word. If the ParseSGMLOutput and FeedBackFile flags are set to Yes, parsing errors are annotated in the FBK feedback file. If the ParseSGMLOutput flag is set to Yes and the FeedBackFile flag set to No, parsing errors are written to an ASCII file called SGMLTEMP.ERR.

To improve the converter's performance, set this option to No, or clear the Parse SGML check box in the Conversion Parameters dialog box.
