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

       iconv - character set conversion

SYNOPSIS

       iconv [OPTION...] [-f encoding] [-t encoding] [inputfile ...]
       iconv -l

DESCRIPTION

       The  iconv  program  converts  text  from one encoding to another encoding.  More precisely, it converts from the encoding given for the -f
       option to the encoding given for the -t option. Either of these encodings defaults to the encoding of the current locale.  All  the  input-
       files  are read and converted in turn; if no inputfile is given, the standard input is used. The converted text is printed to standard out-
       put.

       The encodings permitted are system dependent. For the libiconv implementation, they are listed in the iconv_open(3) manual page.

       Options controlling the input and output format:

       -f encoding, --from-code=encoding
	      Specifies the encoding of the input.

       -t encoding, --to-code=encoding
	      Specifies the encoding of the output.

       Options controlling conversion problems:

       -c     When this option is given, characters that cannot be converted are silently discarded, instead of leading to a conversion error.

       --unicode-subst=formatstring
	      When this option is given, Unicode characters that cannot be represented in the target encoding  are  replaced  with  a  placeholder
	      string  that is constructed from the given formatstring, applied to the Unicode code point. The formatstring must be a format string
	      in the same format as for the printf command or the printf() function, taking either no argument or  exactly  one  unsigned  integer
	      argument.

       --byte-subst=formatstring
	      When  this option is given, bytes in the input that are not valid in the source encoding are replaced with a placeholder string that
	      is constructed from the given formatstring, applied to the byte's value. The formatstring must be a format string in the same format
	      as for the printf command or the printf() function, taking either no argument or exactly one unsigned integer argument.

       --widechar-subst=formatstring
	      When  this  option  is given, wide characters in the input that are not valid in the source encoding are replaced with a placeholder
	      string that is constructed from the given formatstring, applied to the byte's value. The formatstring must be a format string in the
	      same format as for the printf command or the printf() function, taking either no argument or exactly one unsigned integer argument.

       Options controlling error output:

       -s, --silent
	      When  this  option  is given, error messages about invalid or unconvertible characters are omitted, but the actual converted text is
	      unaffected.

       The iconv -l or iconv --list command lists the names of the supported encodings, in a system dependent format. For the libiconv implementa-
       tion,  the  names  are  printed	in  upper case, separated by whitespace, and alias names of an encoding are listed on the same line as the
       encoding itself.

EXAMPLES

       iconv -f ISO-8859-1 -t UTF-8
	      converts input from the old West-European encoding ISO-8859-1 to Unicode.

       iconv -f KOI8-R --byte-subst="<0x%x>"
		       --unicode-subst="<U+%04X>"
	      converts input from the old Russian encoding KOI8-R to the locale encoding, substituting an angle bracket notation with  hexadecimal
	      numbers for invalid bytes and for valid but unconvertible characters.

       iconv --list
	      lists the supported encodings.
