I debugged the --cat output path for .odp files and can easily make the --cat
option work for HTML output (similar to "--convert-to html" command line); is
this acceptable or do we want to iterate every object and print its text
contents without HTML tags present?

Hint: "--cat" doesn't work if another LibreOffice instance is running.

Bug 129713 - soffice --cat option doesn't output document text contents when
there is another instance running

In that case...

+1 for some love for the two bugs

Not sure how much love would be needed, maybe just a little as conversion to
PDF is aleady there.

I don't see any output on Windows whether or not LibreOffice is open.

I want to add that the --cat option does not work (empty output) if LibreOffice
is open. Maybe this is the problem encountered by Matt K.

Using version 7.1.1.2 on Windows 10, the --cat option seems to not work from
command line (nothing is printed); was this intentionally changed and intended
to not be supported (even though the help still prints "--cat" as an option)? 
The "--convert-to txt" option works for .odt, but doesn't convert text in
objects (e.g. Insert -> Shape); should objects be supported, or just simply do
what --convert-to does but send output to console rather than a file?  Also,
"--convert-to txt" doesn't work for .ods and .odp files, and "--convert-to csv"
doesn't work for .odp, but html works for all 3; should that then be used
(objects are converted to images for .odt and .ods)?

--- Comment #6 from Deena P.F. deena.fran...@gmail.com ---
There is small problem with the idea, the --convert-to option prints out to
stdout a string indicating the file names involved.

For example :

$ soffice --headless --convert-to txt:Text --outdir /tmp /tmp/filezBIL6j.odt

This prints out the following string to stdout :




convert /tmp/filezBIL6j.odt - /tmp/filezBIL6j.txt using Text



If we are to reuse --convert-to code, this string will be present along with
the --cat output.

Unfortunately, I could not find where this string gets printed in the code
using http://opengrok.libreoffice.org/

We could of course add a different option to LibreOffice specific to this
functionality (perhaps) eg. a --cat file parameter ? that could output the
plain text on stdout - and avoid the necessity to manage /tmp files in shell -
which is a bit horrible =)

--- Comment #2 from Tor Lillqvist t...@iki.fi ---
Please note that there will be lots of false differences between (flat) ODF
exports of even only minimally edited versions of a document, though, thanks to
gratuitous randomness in the ODF output. See my recent changes in master that
check for the LIBO_ONEWAY_STABLE_ODF_EXPORT environment variable, and in case
that is set, do ODF output in a more stable manner. Unfortunately, as the
ONEWAY part of the env var name indicates, this is not intended to be
roundtrip-safe, though, so that code path can not be made the default. It would
be great if people who actually understand the issues involved would figure out
roudtrip-safe ways to solve the problem (that task it likely not an EasyHack)

Ah, I didn't read the linked article so I thought you meant flat ODF for
storage of docs, but yeah, if just for diffing ,hen plain text obviously is
better.
