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:

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
