#process-output
Full Description
swirl
Syntax
  #process-output


Purpose

Identifies the default output destination provided to OmniMark by the system. You can write to the output destination from either the pattern processor or the markup processor using either find or element rules. On UNIX systems, this corresponds to what is referred to as "standard output" ("stdout").

In earlier releases of OmniMark, #process-output was called #console, and this keyword can still be used to perform the same function. The use of #console, however, is deprecated.

The "declare #process-output has" declarations can be used to change some of the characteristics of the #process-output stream. Note that #process-output never allows referents, so to declare that this stream has referents-allowed or referents-not-allowed is an error.
