Re: enforce project settings for everyone generating outputs

* If you use XMLmind XML Editor, several clean ways to do that are 
documented here:

XMLmind XML Editor - Configuration and Deployment
http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/index.html

However this requires having some IT personnel to organize this. I mean 
this cannot be the responsibility of a technical writer to do it.

However, it's always possible to use the following quick and dirty trick:

1) You, Mary, configure XMLmind XML Editor to your likings. Let's 
suppose you have customized the DITA bookmap configuration by using the 
various dialog boxes of XMLmind XML Editor.

The customizations you have created this way are found in the following 
folder:

%APPDATA%\XMLmind\XMLEditor\custom\DITA BookMap

More information about XMLmind XML Editor user preferences folder in

http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/configure/anatomy_of_a_config.html#xxe_user_preferences_dir

2) Tell you coworkers to copy verbatim the above folder to their own

%APPDATA%\XMLmind\XMLEditor\custom\

folder.




* If you use XMLmind XSL Utility, you cannot do it cleanly without 
switching to XMLmind XSL Server, which is the server variant of XMLmind 
XSL Utility.

See http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/xsl_server.html

Of course, it's always possible to use the same trick as for XMLmind XML 
Editor.

XMLmind XSL Utility user preferences are found in:

%APPDATA%\XMLmind\FOConverter\xslutil.conversions

More information about XMLmind XSL Utility user preferences folder in

http://www.xmlmind.com/foconverter/_distrib/xslutil/doc/help/com.xmlmind.guiutil.PreferencesEditorDialog.html




* If you use ditac, suffice to use command-line option -o and to copy 
the option file on a file share for use by everyone.

See 
http://www.xmlmind.com/ditac/_distrib/doc/manual/commandLine.html#commandLine__option-option
