Configuring MMT


When started, MMT looks for a configuration file called mmtrc in the following order:

  • a default file is included with MMT
  • the deploy folder of the MMT repository (if MMT is run in a way that lets it find that folder)
  • the user’s home folder

Later configuration entries overwrite earlier ones.

During setup a defaut configuration file is generated and placed in the deploy folder. That file also includes some example configuration entries.

Configuration File Syntax

Every configuration file is split into sections introduced by #TYPE defining the type of the following configuration entries.

Each section consists of one configuration entry per line. Each entry is a whitespace-separated list of strings.

Configuration Entries

The class for configuration entries frontend.ConfEntry.

Its Scala doc is the primary place to document the individual entries.
