odt2txt: OpenDocument to Text Converter Don't put anything here Don't put anything here Don't put anything here Page Content Page Name (for URL) Page Title Breadcrumb Text Don't put anything here 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.
