/sys$common/syshlp/HELPLIB.HLB  —  CONVERT  /DOCUMENT  CDA Base Service Converters, Text Output Converter
    The Text output converter converts the intermediate format of
    the input file to a Text output file. Text output files contain
    only textual content and minimal formatting such as line feeds,
    page breaks, and tabs. The output converter preserves formatting
    information to the extent possible. Page coordinates convert to
    the nearest character cell (line,column) position.

    All graphics, images, and text attributes in the input file
    are lost when converted to the text output file. Because a
    monospace font is used, it is possible some text may be lost due
    to overwriting to preserve the layout. Lines can be truncated if
    the specified page width is smaller than the page width specified
    in the document's format information. Neither of these cases
    occur when you use the OVERRIDE_FORMAT processing option because,
    in that case, the document's format information is ignored.

    The Text output converter supports the processing options listed
    below.
