Configuration file

A-Parser has a number of hidden settings that are overridden via a special configuration file config/config.txt. Initially, this file is not present in the A-Parser distribution, and if it becomes necessary to override any of the hidden settings, it must be created beforehand.

caution

This category of settings requires a mandatory restart of A-Parser when changed.
