NAME

       odt2txt - a simple converter from OpenDocument Text to plain text

SYNOPSIS

       odt2txt [OPTIONS] FILENAME

DESCRIPTION

       odt2txt	is  a  command-line tool which extracts the text out of OpenDocument Texts, as produced by OpenOffice.org, KOffice, StarOffice and
       others.

       odt2txt can also extract text from some file formats similar to OpenDocument Text, such as OpenOffice.org XML (*.sxw), which  was  used	by
       OpenOffice.org  version	1.x and older StarOffice versions.  To a lesser extend, odt2txt may be useful to extract content from OpenDocument
       spreadsheets (*.ods) and OpenDocument presentations (*.odp).

       The FILENAME argument is mandatory.

OPTIONS

       --width=WIDTH
	      Wrap text lines after WIDTH characters. The default value is 65, which means that any words which would extend beyond column 65  are
	      moved to a new line.

	      If WIDTH is set to -1 then no lines will be broken

       --output=FILE
	      Write output to FILE and not to standard output.

       --subst=SUBST
	      Select which non-ascii characters shall be replaced by ascii look-a-likes. Valid values for SUBST are all, some and none.

	      --subst=all Substitute all characters for which substitutions are known

	      --subst=some Substitute all characters which the output charset does not contain This is the default

	      --subst=none Substitute no characters

       --encoding=X
	      Do  not  try to autodetect the terminal encoding, but convert the document to encoding X unconditionally To find out, which terminal
	      encoding will be used in automatic mode, use --encoding=show

       --raw  Print raw XML

       --version
	      Show version and copyright information

Name
       ooconvert - Commandline Document Converter Using OpenOffice.org

SYNOPSIS

       ooconvert [--help] [--force]  input output

DESCRIPTION

       This  tool  converts documents between various formats on the commandline.  It uses OpenOffice.org that guarantees the quality of available
       import and export filters.

       This tool tries to start OpenOffice.org in the server mode on backgroud.  It does not work if the OpenOffice.org  application  has  already
       been running. Also it slows down the conversion a lot. We hope to reduce these limitations in the further versions.

OPTIONS

       input  Input file. The filename suffix must be one of the currently supported file formats, see below.

       output Output  file. The filename suffix defines the output file format. It must be one from the table below. An existing file can be over-
	      written by the --force option.

       --help Print help and exit.

       --force
	      Force an already existing output file to be replaced.

SUPPORTED FILE FORMATS

       The current version of this tool does not read the list of available input and output filters directly from  OpenOffice.org.  The  list	of
       supported file formats is hardcoded and thus limited to:
