13.2. Conversion Variables

Purpose

These variables control the conversion process.

Name	Type	Purpose
Init-only:
OPT_CONFIG	string	the configuration library
OPT_LOOK	string	the look library
OPT_STYLE	string	the type of a document
OPT_TARGET	string	target format
OPT_NUMBER	integer	line numbering frequency (when pretty-printing programming languages)
Processing:
DEFAULT_TABLE_STYLE	string	default style for tables (initially columns)
DEFAULT_TAB_SIZE	integer	default tab size (initially 8)

The init-only variables can only be set via sdf's -D option or via the init macro on the top line of a file.

The processing variables control the processing of SDF text before it is passed to a format driver for conversion.

DEFAULT_TAB_SIZE is used when tabs are converted to spaces within SDF files.
