Supported Filter Formats, 3 of 4

Supported Document Formats

The following table lists all of the document formats that interMedia Text supports for filtering. Document filtering is used for indexing, DML, and for converting documents to HTML with the CTX_DOC package. This filtering technology is based on Inso Corporation's HTML export technology and is licensed from Inso Corporation.

Note:

This list does not represent the complete list of formats that Oracle is able to process. The external filter framework enables Oracle to process any document format, provided an external filter exists which can filter all the formats to plain text.
