Export Texts



**Documentation**

The export of data is the final step in an analysis workflow. The analysis
is performed and the result must to be exported to an additional data format
for presentation or visualisation. Or, Sympathy for Data has been used for
data management, where data from different source has been gathered and merged
into a joint structure that can be exported to different data format.

There exists export from the following internal data types:
    - :ref:`Export Tables`
    - :ref:`Export ADAFs`
    - :ref:`Export Texts`
    - :ref:`Export Figures`

The export nodes can also be used for storing partial results on disk.
The stored data can be reimplemented further ahead in the workflow by
connecting the outgoing datasources to an import node.

The export nodes are all based on the use of plugins, the same structure
as the import nodes. Each supported data format has its own plugin, and
may also have a specific GUI settings.


Export of Texts to the following file formats are supported:
    - Text

:Opposite node: :ref:`Texts`
