[opencms-dev] How to specify where static export should be exporting files ?

[pat sad]

Thank you for your clear explanation Michael.

Now, I'd want to use static export to retrieve the files that I
inserted in openCMS using the Extended HTML import, but will that
convert them back to html files when I view them after the static
export or will I always have the XML inside the pages ?

I read in the mailing list on how to set static export, but I am
confused on how to do so, here is a quote I took from an answer
related to my question :

I am new to openCMS and would that mean that I have to change values
in the openCMS-import-export file ?

where do I change those values : 
CmsJspActionElement.link(String) method or the <cms:link> tag given to it the
>whole path with all parameters, when referencing it. For instance:
>      new CmsJspActionElement.link(pageContext,
>request,response).link("/system/modules/mytemplate/style.css?param1=value1&param2=value2")

Thank you for your support.
