✨ NAME ✨

odf2mht — convert ODF to HTML archive 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

odf2mht path

like. that's it. one argument. slay.

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

So odf2mht is a program that creates a MIME-encapsulated web archive in .mht format where images are preserved. no cap, the pictures survive the trip 💖

This file can be read by Internet Explorer, MS-Word, and lots of email programs such as MS-Outlook. it's giving "old-school but it WORKS" energy.

And where does it put the archive? straight to stdout ✨ so redirect it yourself, bestie, the program is not gonna hold your hand on that one.

path is assumed to be an OpenDocument file of text, spreadsheet, or presentation type. so .odt, .ods, .odp — whatever your heart desires 🎀
