WPCubed WordProcessing "FormatStrings"

TextDynamic .NET and TextDynamic ActiveX:

You can specify the format string in the load and save functions, such as Memo.SaveToString, LoadFromString, SaveToFile etc.

WPTools 5 VCL:

It is possible to select a certain reader or writer using a 'format string'. This string is passed to load and save methods, such as LoadFromFile and also in the properties TextLoadFormat and TextSaveFormat. To select a certain reader or writer simply name it in the format string.

The format string starts with the format name:

Please use the the format names:

AUTO - use RTF when saving, used auto detection of format when loading

RTF - use RTF

WPT or WPTOOLS - use the HTML like native format

HTML - use HTML/CSS

UNICODE - use unicode format (2 bytes per char)

ANSI - use ANSI (note the option -codepage!)

You can pass options to the reader or writer after the format name.

Append it after a minus sign, i.e "HTML-onlybody". Multiple options are separated by comma.
