ConversionRules

ConversionRules

is an option for Cell that can be set to a list of rules specifying how the contents of the cell are to be converted to external formats.

Details

  • Typical elements in the list have the form "TeX"->data.
  • Settings for ConversionRules do not affect the display of cells in the standard Wolfram System notebook front end.
  • ConversionRules can be used to save the original form of a cell that has been converted from an external format.

Examples

Basic Examples  (1)

Create a style with embedded HTML conversion rules:

Wolfram Language code: mystyle = Notebook[{Cell[StyleData["MyStyle"], ConversionRules -> {"HTML" -> {{"<myinline>", "</myinline>"}, {"<myblock>", "</myblock>"}}}]}];

Create a document using "MyStyle":

Wolfram Language code: nb = CreateDocument[{TextCell["text", "MyStyle"], TextCell[Row[{"abc ", ExpressionCell[inline, "MyStyle"], " def"}], "Text"]}, StyleDefinitions -> mystyle];

The exported HTML uses the tags given in the ConversionRules for "MyStyle":

Wolfram Language code: ExportString[nb, "HTML"]
