Well, it DOES work with LibreOffice 3.6 if I specify the filter to use:

  "LibreOffice.app/Contents/MacOS/soffice.bin" --headless
  --nofirststartwizard --invisible --convert-to 'rtf:Rich Text Format'
  --outdir /Users/username/result '/Users/username/testfile.html'

(NB that 'rtf:Rich Text Format' seems necessary; rtf:Rich_Text_Format with
underscores, and WITHOUT quotation marks, does not work).

The same is true for other target file formats; e.g.,
  ... --convert-to 'doc:MS Word 97' ...
works, but
  ... --convert-to doc              ...
does not work: the generated file has the extension .doc, but contains still
HTML data, so the generated file is invalid.


But I still don’t understand why the short version used by the original
reporter:
  --convert-to rtf
does not work; according to

  http://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Starting_the_Software_With_Parameters

which gives the example
  --convert-to pdf
I would expect that it is not necessary to specify the filter explicitely.


Therefore adjusted the Summary: the problem is that the output filter name is
required, while the documentation says it is optional.
