NAME
wvWare - convert msword documents
SYNOPSIS
wvWare [-c charset] [--charset charset] [-p password] [--password password] [-x config.xml] [--config config.xml] [-d dir] [--dir dir] filenameDESCRIPTION
wvWare converts word documents into other formats such as
PS,PDF,HTML,LaTeX,DVI,ABW
OPTIONS
-c charset, --charset charset word 97 documents are stored in one of two formats, either in
8 bit windows codepages or in 16 bit unicode. The unicode can
be converted easily into utf-8, and the codepages are promoted
to unicode and converted from there, except for the western
european codepage which is always converted to iso-5589-15 if
possible. This is the default behaviour. While it is possible
to convert into other formats or to force a conversion to a
particular format, it is not recomended as you don't get a
guarantee that the output will be correct. For instance, if
you convert an english document into koi8-r encoding then it
will be wrong, but if you are sure then you can override the
default output format. The charsets that are available depend
on your system: systems using the gnu libc 2 and above can
convert to just about anything; systems that at, wv configure
time, prove to be inadequate for charset conversion use wv's
internal conversion formats which are a small subset of the
possible conversions, namely: utf-8 iso-5589-15 koi8-r tis-620
-p password, --password password Due to heroic work done by a great team of workers, the wv
library can decrypt password protected word 97 and older
versions of word documents given the correct password.
-d dir, --dir dir If dir is used then any created graphics will be placed in
this directory. The default is the directory in which the word
document resides.
-x config.xml, --config config.xml Use this to give the location of the config file. If not used,
the config file is searched for by first checking the current
directory, and then by looking in the install location
(/usr/local/lib/wv/wvHtml.xml by default)
