Template types
Carbone supports virtually any document as a template. Carbone can also be used to generate emails in HTML, JSON, files for industrial label printers, markdown, and more.
However, some advanced features require specific template files. This table provides a non-exhaustive overview of all supported features by template type.
Carbone also manages more than 160 document conversions (ex., DOCX to PDF). The bottom of the table shows the most commonly used output file type. Here is the complete list of supported output file formats
