Exports the dictionary descriptions of selected objects to documents.

Syntax

ZOMExport object specification [option…]

Options

;k [!]

The ;k option is used to assign a keyword to the selected object(s). If the keyword is already assigned, this assignment is ignored. If “!” is specified, the keyword assignment is removed for the selected object(s).

;p [!]

Set the specified user-designated property for the selected object(s). If “!” is indicated, the specified property is reset for the selected object(s).

The ;f option specifies the format that the Object Dictionary specifications are to be exported in. There are several available formats:

Z50	To export in Z50 format, omit the ;f option. This is the default import/export format, and is recommended for exchanging definitions between ZOM enabled environments. File names for Z50 files end in “.z50”.
Z41	This produces output compatible with ZOM export/import files created by versions of ZOM prior to Version 5.0. This format is useful for exporting definitions into Zim environments where earlier versions are in use. File names for Z41 files end in “.z41”.
DT4	This produces output compatible with ZimSAVE and ZimLOAD. It is useful for exchanging objects between ZOM and older versions of Zim. File names for DT4 files end in “.dt4”.
OEF	This produces output compatible with the Object Exchange Format, a generic object exchange format definition designed for integration with other development tools. File names for OEF files end in “.oef”.

;t sh

Export the objects from the Shadow Object Dictionary, rather than the Object Dictionary.

Comments

ZOMExport starts by clearing the Shadow Dictionary unless the ;a option has been specified. It then selects objects (using
