Re: section conversion gets lost in MKIV

[Cedric Mauclair <cedric.mauclair@gmail.com>]

Hi,

Is there a documentation and/or extensive example of the conversionset
feature (and others) somewhere? The comments in the source files (on
the wiki) are kind of scarce and I can't quite figure out how to use
them.

Thanks.
