Syntax
spool_name.save(options) [path]\file_name
Follow the keyword with a name for the file. file_name may include the file type extension, or the file type may be specified using the “t=” option.
If an explicit path is not specified, the file will be stored in the default directory, as set in the File Locations global options.
The MD (Markdown) setting uses very basic syntax and should be usable in most editors.
