==DESCRIPTION== This plugin and its dependents allow EPrints to convert documents from one format into another format. Convert plugins are also used by the full-text indexer to extract plain-text from documents. Convert plugins may provide conversions from any number of formats to any number of other formats (or not even 'formats' per-se e.g. unpacking/packing archives). A single plugin may represent a particular software package (e.g. ImageMagick) or a common goal (e.g. textifying documents for indexing). Using the root Convert plugin it is possible to query all loaded conversion plugins for available conversions from a given [[API:EPrints/DataObj/Document|EPrints::DataObj::Document]]. To allow for simpler local configuration Convert plugins should use SystemSettings to store the location of external programs. <!-- Edit below this comment --> <!-- Pod2Wiki= --> <!-- Pod2Wiki=head_synopsis -->
