"OutputFormPageWidth"

• "OutputFormPageWidth" is an option for cells that determines the width of a page assumed when displaying output represented in OutputForm.

• The value of this option controls the setting of the PageWidth option of the kernel's $Output stream. The front end automatically communicates the value to the kernel if the value changes.
• The default setting is "OutputFormPageWidth" Rule "WindowWidth".
• Other possible settings are: "Infinity", "PaperWidth", and number. The latter case specifies the width of the page in characters. This is meaningful because OutputForm assumes a monospaced font.

"StoreInputForm"

• "StoreInputForm" is an option for cells that determines if the front end should store an InputForm representation of any output produced using OutputForm.

• Unlike StandardForm or TraditionalForm output, OutputForm output cannot be used in further calculations: it is an output-only format. In order to allow cells in OutputForm to be used in further calculations, the front end can automatically store an InputForm copy of the output. This option controls under what circumstances it will do so.
• With the setting "StoreInputForm" Rule All, the front end stores an InputForm representation of any output produced by the kernel. If the cell is then supplied as input to Publicon, the kernel interprets the InputForm version to perform the evaluation.
• With the setting "StoreInputForm" Rule None, the front end does not store an InputForm representation of any output produced by the kernel.
• The default setting is "StoreInputForm" Rule Automatic. With this setting, the front end stores an InputForm representation for all output except that consisting of graphics or Short[] output. In those cases the InputForm representation can be far larger than the OutputForm output (because it includes the complete data representing the output, rather than an abbreviated form).
