Description

With <filename> a name for the output file to be generated is given. If the element is not given, the software has to choose the name automatically.

A file extension need not to/must not be given, because it is determined by the output file format (see also <fileformat>):

      Format   file extension
    -------------------------
      ASCII         .txt
     (La)TeX        .tex

    Postscript      .ps
      HTML          .html
     DocBook        .xml
