Alternate Output Formats
This chapter showed the default HTML format, which is obviously best for viewing
in a web browser. But what if you wanted to parse the output or store it in a data-
base? HTML is not the best format for these choices. The NCBI also supports Plain
Text, eXtensible Markup Language (XML), and ASN.1 formats. To see these differ-

all the formats, and then just hit the browser Back button to return to the HTML for-
matted page.
