6.63. Parameter --short-tokens

[--rta/--cibrtf]

With this parameter CIB merge creates a target file in a format with shortened RTF tokens (CIBrtf).


Syntax
--short-tokens


Description

The shortened RTF tokens created with the --short-tokens parameter reduce the file size significantly. By using such optimized CIBrtf files, the performance of CIB format and CIB merge can be optimized.

Further processing of this target document is possible with CIB format/view and with CIB merge from version 3.8.106. CIBrtf is CIB specific and cannot be processed by third-party products, but CIB merge can read it in and output it as RTF without --short-tokens.


Example
--inputfile=Optimierung_in.rtf
--outputfile=!Optimierung_out.rtf
--short-tokens
--filter=f

CIB merge does not merge field contents (--filter=f) and writes an output file with shortened CIBrtf tokens (CIBRtf). The shortened RTF commands in the output result in a smaller result file compared to the RTF.

The usage of this parameter together with other optimization parameters is described in the Gap Text example.

Disadvantage:

The RTF format can only be processed by the CIB format/output component.
