Through the Impex Library, any application using a text object can import from and export to many popular word processor formats. You don't have to go through the work of creating your own format translator for each supported format; any format supported by the Impex Library will automatically be supported by your application. (See the Impex chapter.) In addition, the Impex Library is designed so users can add new translators to the importer/exporter; these translators are then accessible to your application without recompiling or upgrading.
