The string that can be passed to openStringInline can be any of the file
types that Jmol supports.

The JmolModelAdapter is designed so that it will recognize various file
formats (>20) based upon the contents of the file itself. That is, the
file extension is not used at all to determine the file type.

The string that gets passed to this method can be any valid file format,
including pdb, cif, mmcif, xyz, mol, cml, etc.

Feel free to ask questions when you need assistance.
