/* HTFormat: The format manager in the WWW Library
MANAGE DIFFERENT DOCUMENT FORMATS
Here we describe the functions of the HTFormat module which handles conversion between
different data representations. (In MIME parlance, a representation is known as a
content-type. In WWW the term "format" is often used as it is shorter).
This module is implemented by HTFormat.c . This hypertext document is used to generate
the HTFormat.h inlude file. Part of the WWW library.
