Value

(("Text" ("odt" "ott" "doc" "rtf" "docx")
  (("pdf" "pdf") ("odt" "odt") ("rtf" "rtf") ("ott" "ott")
   ("doc" "doc" ":\"MS Word 97\"") ("docx" "docx") ("html" "html")))
 ("Web" ("html") (("pdf" "pdf") ("odt" "odt") ("html" "html")))
 ("Spreadsheet" ("ods" "ots" "xls" "csv" "xlsx")
  (("pdf" "pdf") ("ots" "ots") ("html" "html") ("csv" "csv")
   ("ods" "ods") ("xls" "xls") ("xlsx" "xlsx")))
 ("Presentation" ("odp" "otp" "ppt" "pptx")

Documentation

Specify input and output formats of org-odt-convert-process.

More correctly, specify the set of input and output formats that the user is actually interested in.

This variable is an alist where each element is of the form (DOCUMENT-CLASS INPUT-FMT-LIST OUTPUT-FMT-ALIST). INPUT-FMT-LIST is a list of INPUT-FMTs. OUTPUT-FMT-ALIST is an alist where each element is of the form (OUTPUT-FMT OUTPUT-FILE-EXTENSION EXTRA-OPTIONS).

The variable is interpreted as follows: org-odt-convert-process can take any document that is in INPUT-FMT-LIST and produce any document that is in the OUTPUT-FMT-LIST. A document converted to OUTPUT-FMT will have OUTPUT-FILE-EXTENSION as the file name extension. OUTPUT-FMT serves dual purposes:
- It is used for populating completion candidates during
  org-odt-convert commands.
- It is used as the value of "%f" specifier in
  org-odt-convert-process.

EXTRA-OPTIONS is used as the value of "%x" specifier in org-odt-convert-process.

DOCUMENT-CLASS is used to group a set of file formats in INPUT-FMT-LIST in to a single class.

Note that this variable inherently captures how LibreOffice based converters work. LibreOffice maps documents of various formats to classes like Text, Web, Spreadsheet, Presentation etc and allow document of a given class (irrespective of its source format) to be converted to any of the export formats associated with that class.

See default setting of this variable for a typical configuration.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Emacs 24.1.
