+@defun format-find-file file format
+This command finds the file @var{file}, converting it according to
+format @var{format}.  It also makes @var{format} the default if the
+buffer is saved later.
+
+The argument @var{format} is a list of format names.  If @var{format} is
+@code{nil}, no conversion takes place.  Interactively, typing just
