-<h2>Export Format Profiles</h2>
-
-<p>
- An Export Format Profile specifies the file format in which Ardour will export
- audio files, and also other audio file export options.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Export Format Profiles are edited via the 'Edit Export Format Profile' dialog.
-</p>

-
-<h3>Normalize</h3>
-
-<p>
- If enabled, peak levels of exported files will be normalized to the level chosen here.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Trim/Add silence at start/end</h3>
-
-<p>
-</p>
-
-<h3>Compatibility/Quality/File format/Sample rate</h3>
-
-<h4>Compatibility</h4>
-
-<p>
- Selecting an item in the 'Compatibility' column will display options in the
- other columns that are incompatible with that item in red.
-</p>
-
-<h4>Quality</h4>
-
-<p>
- The appropriate item in the 'Quality' column will be highlighted when you
- choose a file format. Clicking on items in the 'Quality' column currently
- doesn't seem to do anything useful.
-</p>
-
-<h4>File format</h4>
-
-<p>
- This column contains a list of Ardour's supported export file types. Click on
- the format you want to use.
-</p>
-
-<h4>Sample rate</h4>
-
-<p>
- You can explicitly choose the sample rate of your exported files here, or
- choose 'Session rate' to export in the current session's sample rate, without
- sample rate conversion.
-</p>
-
-<h4>Sample rate conversion quality</h4>
-
-<p>
- If your chosen sample rate does not match the current session's sample rate,
- choose the sample rate conversion quality here. Better quality options are
- slower.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Options</h3>
-
-<p>
- Options relevant to the chosen file format will appear here.
- Categories of audio file format are:
- <ul>
- <li>Linear encoding</li>
- <li>Broadcast Wave</li>
- <li>Ogg Vorbis</li>
- <li>FLAC</li>
- </ul>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Available options include a selection of the following:
-</p>
-
-<h4>Sample Format</h4>
-
-<p>
- Choose the bit depth of exported files.
-</p>
-
-<h4>Dithering</h4>
-
-<p>
- If the exported files bit depth is less than Ardour's native bit depth,
- choose the dithering algorithm to use.
-</p>
-
-<h4>Create CUE file/Create TOC file</h4>
-
-<p>
- As well as exporting an audio file, create a file (in CUE or TOC format
- respectively) containg CD track information, as defined in the
- <a href="/working-with-markers/rangesmarks-list/">Ranges & Marks List</a>.
-</p>
-
-<h4>Tag with session's metadata</h4>
-
-<p>
- If the exported file format supports metadata, use data entered in the
- <a href="/working-with-sessions/metadata/">Session Metadata</a>
- window to tag the exported files.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Label</h3>
-
-<p>
- The 'Label' field lets you choose the name which will be shown for this format
- in the drop-down list of export formats in the 'File Formats' tab of the
- <a href="/exporting/export-dialog/">Export dialog</a>.
-</p>
-
-<h3>Command to run post-export</h3>
-
-<p>
- If this is not blank, it is considered as a command to be run after the export
- of each file. Either the command must exist in $PATH, or you can specify an
- absolute path to an executable file here.
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Certain sequences are allowed here to stand for the exported file name and the
- like. Currently these are:
- <dl>
- <dt><code>%f</code></dt>
- <dd>Full path & filename of the exported audio file</dd>
- <dt><code>%d</code></dt>
- <dd>Directory containing the exported audio file (including trailing directory separator)</dd>
- <dt><code>%b</code></dt>
- <dd>Basename of the exported audio file (without extension)</dd>
- <dt><code>%s</code></dt>
- <dd>Path to the current session file</dd>
- <dt><code>%n</code></dt>
- <dd>Name of the current session file</dd>
- <dt><code>%%</code></dt>
- <dd>A literal percent sign</dd>
- </dl>
-</p>
-
-<p>
- Any part of the command-line enclosed in double-quotes (") will be used as-is.
-</p>
