💅 PUB2ODG 💅

okay bestie, so this is the manual page for pub2odg, and it's literally the glow-up machine for your crusty old MS Publisher files. it lives in the writerperfect fam, version 0.9.6. pull up a chair, we're doing this 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

pub2odg — manual page for pub2odg 0.9.6

no cap, that's the whole name section. short and iconic, as it should be 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

pub2odg [OPTIONS] INPUT [OUTPUT]

that's it, that's the whole vibe. give it an INPUT, maybe give it an OUTPUT, sprinkle some OPTIONS on top and boom 💥

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so like, here's the tea ☕ — pub2odg converts MS Publisher documents to ODF. that's the entire personality and honestly? obsessed. it knows what it's about.

and here's the part where it gets spicy: if you just... don't give it an OUTPUT? not a problem, bestie 💖. the result gets printed as Flat ODF to standard output. it's giving "i'll just show you right here, no extra files needed." main character energy fr fr ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

okay so these are your little knobs and dials, and there are exactly three of them, so no excuses:

  • --help — show this help message 💁‍♀️ she's helpful, she's humble
  • --version — print version and exit. it tells you what version it is and then it leaves. periodt 💅
  • --stdout — print the result as flat XML to standard output 📤 yes, even when you did give an OUTPUT. she said "i'm putting it on the screen anyway, deal with it"

😭 REPORTING BUGS 😭

found a bug? first of all, not me manifesting that 💀 second of all, report bugs to:

<https://sourceforge.net/p/libwpd/tickets/>

they wanna hear from you, bestie, fr fr 🙈

💜 quick vibe check: every flag, every default, every path up there is verbatim, so don't come for me if --stdout does exactly what it says. it does.

and that's the whole page, babe ✨ written for writerperfect 0.9.6, dated July 2025 — go forth and convert those Publisher files, you absolute legend 🦋💖🎀
