--- Comment #24 from Bill C Riemers <[email protected]> ---
The following is the most comprehensive webpage I could find that describes the
input filters:

https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/DevGuide/Spreadsheets/Filter_Options

This is for openoffice, not libre office.  The most obvious deficiencies are it
doesn't list the information you can append character encoding to the end of
the options list.   As in the example in this thread:

oocalc --infilter='csv:44,34,UTF8'

It also doesn't list many of the formats available for libre-office, nor that
you can usually just use the file extension as in csv.

Libre-office has some very powerful command line options, but they are also
fairly useless if users cannot find documentation on how to use them.

Even the command line itself does not printout correct usage information.  For
example it lists as an example:

--infilter "Text (encoded):UTF8,LF,,," 

But has been shown here, UTF8 should be the last parameter, not the first.  
Also I have no clue even after reading the openoffice document what the
parameters for "Text (encoded)" would even mean.  However, I doubt LF is a
correct parameters, as be provided as ascii decimal codes.

I'm still struggling to find what are the correct parameters for --convert-to. 
 For example, how would one specify binary ods output instead of raw xml?
