### 12.14 Export in foreign buffers

Most built-in back-ends come with a command to convert the selected region into a selected format and replace this region by the exported output. Here is a list of such conversion commands:

`org-html-convert-region-to-html`

  Convert the selected region into HTML.

`org-latex-convert-region-to-latex`

  Convert the selected region into LaTeX.

`org-texinfo-convert-region-to-texinfo`

  Convert the selected region into `Texinfo`.

`org-md-convert-region-to-md`

  Convert the selected region into `MarkDown`.

This is particularly useful for converting tables and lists in foreign buffers. E.g., in an HTML buffer, you can turn on `orgstruct-mode`, then use Org commands for editing a list, and finally select and convert the list with `M-x org-html-convert-region-to-html RET`.
