## A.10 startable.writers

The `startable.writers` property provides additional output handlers which `StarTableOutput` can use for writing tables. Its value is a colon-separated list of class names, where each element of the list must be the name of a class on the classpath which implements the `StarTableWriter` interface and has a no-arg constructor. When a new `StarTableOutput` is constructed, an instance of each such named class is created and added to its handler list. Users of the library can therefore write tables in the format that the new handler knows how to write to by giving its format name when performing the write.
