7

SYNOPSIS

9       odt2txt [OPTIONS] FILENAME
10

DESCRIPTION

12       odt2txt is a command-line tool which extracts the text out of OpenDocu‐
13       ment Texts, as produced by OpenOffice.org, KOffice, StarOffice and oth‐
14       ers.
15
16       odt2txt  can  also extract text from some file formats similar to Open‐
17       Document Text, such as OpenOffice.org XML (*.sxw), which  was  used  by
18       OpenOffice.org  version 1.x and older StarOffice versions.  To a lesser
19       extent, odt2txt may be useful  to  extract  content  from  OpenDocument
20       spreadsheets (*.ods) and OpenDocument presentations (*.odp).
21
22       The FILENAME argument is mandatory.
