Re: Bug#406495: ITP: odt2txt -- simple converter from OpenDocument Text to plain text

It is small and fast, can output the document in many encodings and adopts to your locale. How does it compare to the converter from the o3read package? Can there be some automagic mutt handling such as for antiword? I was needing an OpenDocument (.odt) to text converter, like antiword. OpenDocument [1] is now the default format of OpenOffice Writer (and I hope that one day it will be the default on every program, including MS Word). o3read displays the older format of OpenOffice (.sxw). (see #359820) And what I could see, o3read isn't very straightforward to get the text from a document (manpage says that you need to unzip the document, then pipe it through o3read, for example). With odt2txt you just need to run odt2txt file.odt and you will get the text output from it. I am not a mutt guru, but I think that it might be easy to run odt2txt on an attached .odt file. (sincerely I don't know how to do this; my mutt acknowledge is very limited) odt2txt will only convert word processing documents; spreadsheets aren't handled, for example.

I have been piping odf2html (from odfreader package) into lynx to get similar effect. I just tested odt2txt and the output is roughly similar; but odt2txt seems much slower (but I just tested it against one file). I am not a mutt guru, but I think that it might be easy to run odt2txt on an attached .odt file. (sincerely I don't know how to do this; my mutt acknowledge is very limited) It will be easy, with a mailcap entry like that (untested): application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text; odt2txt %s; copiousoutput Regards, Frederic -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
