odt2txt: OpenDocument to Text Converter Don't put anything here Don't put anything here Page Content Page Name (for URL) Page Title Breadcrumb Text Here is a script to convert OpenDocument files to plain text (formatted using [Markdown](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/) syntax): [odt2txt.py](/projects/python-markdown/odt2txt.php). Like a true paper-writing nerd I keep going back between Open Office and emacs for word processing. Emacs opens files so much faster and I can then [grep](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grep) and [less](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Less_%28Unix%29) those files. On the other hand, with Emacs I find that WYSIWIG editing really makes it easier to plan a paper (is it just the pagination?). With this script, I can not 'less' OpenOffice documents from the command line: odt2txt.py MyPaper.odt | less I still can't use grep, though. Using `odt2txt | less` takes less time then opening a file in Open Office, but it still won't be enough for grepping. I think I would need to set up type kind of caching.
