This is a standalone converter for the OpenOffice.org swriter (*.sxw) and scalc (*.sxc) formats. It doesn't depend on OpenOffice or any other external tools or libraries. Example: unzip -p filformat.sxw content.xml | o3read | utf8tolatin1 There are three output modules: * o3read displays a dump of the parse tree * o3totxt creates plain text * o3tohtml creates html code The utility utf8tolatin1 converts from utf8 to 8859-1.
