-<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>
-

-<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>
-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="/ardours-interface/editor-lists/ranges-and-marks-list/">Ranges & Marks List</a>.
-
-
-<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>.
-
-<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>
-Any part of the command-line enclosed in double-quotes (") will be used as-is.
