DESCRIPTION

13       wvWare  converts  word   documents   into   other   formats   such   as
14       PS,PDF,HTML,LaTeX,DVI,ABW
15
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)
