Details

ExportString handles a large number of formats, each typically with many different possible elements. The possible formats are given in the list $ExportFormats, and in the "Listing of All Formats".
ExportString works just like Export, with the same element specifications and options.
Many graphics, sound, and binary formats yield strings containing non‐printable characters.
