✨ NAME ✨

odf2xml — Create OpenDocument XML file from OD? package 🌸

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

odf2xml [-e] [-o outputfile] [inputfile]

---

💅 DESCRIPTION 💅

so like, an OpenDocument can literally be a complete office document in a single XML file. and this script? it takes an OpenDocument and makes you an XML file out of it. it's mainly useful for XML processors like, say, XSL transformation. iykyk 🔥

inputfile is assumed to be an OpenDocument file. and if there's no inputfile at all? no stress — the program will just read from standard input. main character energy fr fr 💜

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -e — normally, images chilling in the archive inside the Pictures folder are just ignored, like they're not invited to the party 🙈. using the -e flag will embed those images in the XML as base64. slay ✨
• -o outputfile — if you don't specify an output file, the output goes to standard out. that's it, that's the vibe 💖

🌈 EXAMPLE 🌈

odf2xml -o file.xml  testdocument.odt
