# 2.1 Command-Line and Configuration Options

There are many options to plastex that allow you to control things input and output file encodings, where files are generated and what the filenames look like, rendering parameters, etc. While plastex is the interface where the options are specified, for the most part these options are simply passed to the parser and renderers for their use. It is even possible to create your own options for use in your own Python-based macros and renderers. The following options are currently available on the plastex command. They are categorized for convenience.
