 * @class SBMLConverter
 * @sbmlbrief{core} Base class for SBML converters.
 *
 * @htmlinclude libsbml-facility-only-warning.html
 *
 * The SBMLConverter class is the base class for the various SBML @em
 * converters: classes of objects that transform or convert SBML documents.
 * These transformations can involve essentially anything that can be written
 * algorithmically; examples include converting the units of measurement in a
 * model, or converting from one Level+Version combination of SBML to
 * another.  Applications can also create their own converters by subclassing
 * SBMLConverter and following the examples of the existing converters.
