| |
| − | ==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.
