The Guide and Protocol controllers allow for the specification of the format of the resulting content.  At this time, two formats are supported: HTML and Plain Text.

The format is chosen by specifying the X-DocType header as either 'text' or 'html'.  The default format is HTML.


HTML Format


When the HTML format is specified, or no X-DocType is specified, the resulting text embedded in the various JSON nodes will contain text formatted as HTML.  This allows for complete styling of the resulting text.

Plain Text Format

When the Plain Text format is specified, the resulting JSON nodes will contain text that is only formatted with only line feeds (LF - 0x0A) and horizontal tab (TAB - 0x09) characters for formatting.
