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
       extent,  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
