16 OPTIONS
17 -c charset, --charset charset
18 word 97 documents are stored in one of two formats, either in 8
19 bit windows codepages or in 16 bit unicode. The unicode can be
20 converted easily into utf-8, and the codepages are promoted to
21 unicode and converted from there, except for the western euro‐
22 pean codepage which is always converted to iso-5589-15 if possi‐
23 ble. This is the default behaviour. While it is possible to con‐
24 vert into other formats or to force a conversion to a particular
25 format, it is not recomended as you don't get a guarantee that
26 the output will be correct. For instance, if you convert an eng‐
27 lish document into koi8-r encoding then it will be wrong, but if
28 you are sure then you can override the default output format.
29 The charsets that are available depend on your system: systems
30 using the gnu libc 2 and above can convert to just about any‐
31 thing; systems that at, wv configure time, prove to be inade‐
32 quate for charset conversion use wv's internal conversion for‐
33 mats which are a small subset of the possible conversions,
34 namely: utf-8 iso-5589-15 koi8-r tis-620
35
36 -p password, --password password
37 Due to heroic work done by a great team of workers, the wv
38 library can decrypt password protected word 97 and older ver‐
39 sions of word documents given the correct password.
40
41 -d dir, --dir dir
42 If dir is used then any created graphics will be placed in this
43 directory. The default is the directory in which the word docu‐
44 ment resides.
45
46 -x config.xml, --config config.xml
47 Use this to give the location of the config file. If not used,
48 the config file is searched for by first checking the current
49 directory, and then by looking in the install location
50 (/usr/local/lib/wv/wvHtml.xml by default)
