+<p>To enable transformations, you have to setup the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">column_info</span></tt>
+table and the proper directives. Please see the <a class="reference internal" href="config.html#config"><em>Configuration</em></a> on how to do so.</p>
+<p>You can apply different transformations to the contents of each
+column. The transformation will take the content of each column and
+transform it with certain rules defined in the selected
+transformation.</p>
+<p>Say you have a column &#8216;filename&#8217; which contains a filename. Normally
+you would see in phpMyAdmin only this filename. Using transformations
+you can transform that filename into a HTML link, so you can click
+inside of the phpMyAdmin structure on the column&#8217;s link and will see
+the file displayed in a new browser window. Using transformation
+options you can also specify strings to append/prepend to a string or
+the format you want the output stored in.</p>
+<p>For a general overview of all available transformations and their
+options, you can consult your <em>&lt;www.your-host.com&gt;/&lt;your-install-
+dir&gt;/transformation_overview.php</em> installation.</p>
+<p>For a tutorial on how to effectively use transformations, see our
+<a class="reference external" href="http://www.phpmyadmin.net/home_page/docs.php">Link section</a> on the
+official phpMyAdmin homepage.</p>

+<div class="section" id="usage">
+<span id="transformationshowto"></span><h2>Usage<a class="headerlink" href="#usage" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>Go to your <em>tbl_structure.php</em> page (i.e. reached through clicking on
+the &#8216;Structure&#8217; link for a table). There click on &#8220;Change&#8221; (or change
+icon) and there you will see three new fields at the end of the line.
+They are called &#8216;MIME-type&#8217;, &#8216;Browser transformation&#8217; and
+&#8216;Transformation options&#8217;.</p>
+<ul class="simple">
+<li>The field &#8216;MIME-type&#8217; is a drop-down field. Select the MIME-type that
+corresponds to the column&#8217;s contents. Please note that transformations
+are inactive as long as no MIME-type is selected.</li>
+<li>The field &#8216;Browser transformation&#8217; is a drop-down field. You can
+choose from a hopefully growing amount of pre-defined transformations.
+See below for information on how to build your own transformation.
+There are global transformations and mimetype-bound transformations.
+Global transformations can be used for any mimetype. They will take
+the mimetype, if necessary, into regard. Mimetype-bound
+transformations usually only operate on a certain mimetype. There are
+transformations which operate on the main mimetype (like &#8216;image&#8217;),
+which will most likely take the subtype into regard, and those who
+only operate on a specific subtype (like &#8216;image/jpeg&#8217;). You can use
+transformations on mimetypes for which the function was not defined
+for. There is no security check for you selected the right
+transformation, so take care of what the output will be like.</li>
+<li>The field &#8216;Transformation options&#8217; is a free-type textfield. You have
+to enter transform-function specific options here. Usually the
+transforms can operate with default options, but it is generally a
+good idea to look up the overview to see which options are necessary.
+Much like the ENUM/SET-Fields, you have to split up several options
+using the format &#8216;a&#8217;,&#8217;b&#8217;,&#8217;c&#8217;,...(NOTE THE MISSING BLANKS). This is
+because internally the options will be parsed as an array, leaving the
+first value the first element in the array, and so forth. If you want
+to specify a MIME character set you can define it in the
+transformation_options. You have to put that outside of the pre-
+defined options of the specific mime-transform, as the last value of
+the set. Use the format &#8220;&#8217;; charset=XXX&#8217;&#8221;. If you use a transform, for
+which you can specify 2 options and you want to append a character
+set, enter &#8220;&#8216;first parameter&#8217;,&#8217;second parameter&#8217;,&#8217;charset=us-ascii&#8217;&#8221;.
+You can, however use the defaults for the parameters: &#8220;&#8217;&#8216;,&#8217;&#8216;,&#8217;charset
+=us-ascii&#8217;&#8221;.</li>
+</ul>
+</div>
+<div class="section" id="file-structure">
+<span id="transformationsfiles"></span><h2>File structure<a class="headerlink" href="#file-structure" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
+<p>All specific transformations for mimetypes are defined through class
+files in the directory &#8216;libraries/plugins/transformations/&#8217;. Each of
+them extends a certain transformation abstract class declared in
+libraries/plugins/transformations/abstract.</p>
+<p>They are stored in files to ease up customization and easy adding of
+new transformations.</p>
+<p>Because the user cannot enter own mimetypes, it is kept sure that
+transformations always work. It makes no sense to apply a
+transformation to a mimetype the transform-function doesn&#8217;t know to
+handle.</p>
+<p>There is a file called &#8216;<em>transformations.lib.php</em>&#8216; that provides some
+basic functions which can be included by any other transform function.</p>
+<p>The file name convention is <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[Mimetype]_[Subtype]_[Transformation</span>
+<span class="pre">Name].class.php</span></tt>, while the abtract class that it extends has the
+name <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">[Transformation</span> <span class="pre">Name]TransformationsPlugin</span></tt>. All of the
+methods that have to be implemented by a transformations plug-in are:</p>
+<ol class="arabic simple">
+<li>getMIMEType() and getMIMESubtype() in the main class;</li>
+<li>getName(), getInfo() and applyTransformation() in the abstract class
+it extends.</li>
+</ol>
+<p>The getMIMEType(), getMIMESubtype() and getName() methods return the
+name of the MIME type, MIME Subtype and transformation accordingly.
+getInfo() returns the transformation&#8217;s description and possible
+options it may receive and applyTransformation() is the method that
+does the actual work of the transformation plug-in.</p>
+<p>Please see the libraries/plugins/transformations/TEMPLATE and
+libraries/plugins/transformations/TEMPLATE_ABSTRACT files for adding
+your own transformation plug-in. You can also generate a new
+transformation plug-in (with or without the abstract transformation
+class), by using
+<tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">libraries/plugins/transformations/generator_plugin.sh</span></tt> or
+<tt class="file docutils literal"><span class="pre">libraries/plugins/transformations/generator_main_class.sh</span></tt>.</p>
+<p>The applyTransformation() method always gets passed three variables:</p>
+<ol class="arabic simple">
+<li><strong>$buffer</strong> - Contains the text inside of the column. This is the
+text, you want to transform.</li>
+<li><strong>$options</strong> - Contains any user-passed options to a transform
+function as an array.</li>
+<li><strong>$meta</strong> - Contains an object with information about your column. The
+data is drawn from the output of the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.php.net/mysql_fetch_field">mysql_fetch_field()</a> function. This means, all
+object properties described on the <a class="reference external" href="http://www.php.net/mysql_fetch_field">manual page</a> are available in this
+variable and can be used to transform a column accordingly to
+unsigned/zerofill/not_null/... properties. The $meta-&gt;mimetype
+variable contains the original MIME-type of the column (i.e.
+&#8216;text/plain&#8217;, &#8216;image/jpeg&#8217; etc.)</li>
+</ol>
