✨ RST2ODT_PREPSTYLES(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to section 1 — the text processing corner of the manual — where we talk about rst2odt_prepstyles. she's a little helper, she's lowkey iconic, and she's about to save your stylesheets. 💅

---

🎀 NAME 🎀

rst2odt_prepstyles — strip paper size specifications off of rst2odt stylesheets

like... she takes the paper size out. that's the whole job. and she ate. 🔥

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

rst2odt_prepstyles FILE

one file, that's it, that's the vibe. no cap. ✨

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so here's the lore, bestie. 💖 rst2odt(1) uses a stylesheet file as a template for the ODT files it creates. the stock styles.odt file that ships with it comes without page dimensions — she's free, she's unbothered, she has no paper size. 🧚

and when rst2odt is run and detects that there is no paper size given in the stylesheet, it gets automatically determined using paperconf(1). slay, delegation. 👑

but now here's the plot twist 😭 — when you're editing stylesheets with OpenOffice.org Writer (or similar programs), the resulting files always carry a page size. like, they can't help themselves. every single time. 🙈

rst2odt respects this setting and ensures that documents processed with custom stylesheets look the same regardless of the host it is running on. consistent. predictable. main character energy. ⭐

but if you want to get the original behavior — i.e. a system-dependent paper size — you can run rst2odt_prepstyles over your custom stylesheet. that's literally the whole point of her existence. 🫶

⚠️ okay important bestie: remember to re-run the command whenever you change the file with a word processor. every. single. time. the word processor will put the page size right back, no cap. 💀
