Default Catalogs

Arboreal recognizes two sorts of default catalogs:

  1. When a primary text is loaded from within a bundle, Arboreal will automatically load a file called catalog.xml, if it is present at the top level of the bundle. The Archimedes bundle scheme is described in a separate document.

  2. Arboreal may be configured to load a particular catalog file automatically on start-up. The URI for this catalog file can be specified in the Arboreal preferences dialog (accessible by selecting Preferences... from the File menu).
