| <P CLASS="Intro"> On the Team>File Content preference page, you can associate |
| file extensions with the type of data the file contains. The two choices for |
| file content type are ASCII and Binary. Repository providers such as CVS can |
| then use this information to provide content type appropriate behavior. For |
| example, for ASCII files, CVS ensures that line terminators conform to those |
| of the OS platform. |
| <P CLASS="Intro">Entries are added to the File Content page in two ways. The first |
| is through contributions from workbench plug-ins. Tools integrated into the |
| workbench provide the workbench with the file content types for file extensions |
| specific to the tool. The workbench itself also defines the file content type |
| for file extensions that are common and appear frequently in the workbench (e.g. |
| html, gif, etc.). |
| <P CLASS="Intro">The second method is for users to add file content types explicitly |
| on the File Content preference page. To do so, the user can simply click on |
| the <strong>Add</strong> button and enter an extension. Following this, they |
| can toggle the type associated with the extension by selecting the entry for |
| the extension in the table and clicking <strong>Change</strong>. Entries can |
| be removed from the list by selecting them and clicking <strong>Remove</strong>. |
