NAME

markdown2odt - converts markdown-formatted text to ODT

SYNOPSIS

markdown2odt [options] [input-file]...

DESCRIPTION

markdown2odt converts input-file (or text from standard input) from markdown-formatted plain text to ODT (OpenDocument Text) format. If no output filename is specified (using the -o option), the name of the output file is derived from the input file; thus, for example, if the input file is hello.txt, the output file will be hello.odt. If the input is read from STDIN and no output filename is specified, the output file will be named stdin.odt. If multiple input files are specified, they will be concatenated before conversion, and the name of the output file will be derived from the first input file.

Input is assumed to be in the UTF-8 character encoding. If your local character encoding is not UTF-8, you should pipe input through iconv:

iconv -t utf-8 input.txt | markdown2odt

OPTIONS

markdown2odt is a wrapper around pandoc, so all of pandoc's options can be used with markdown2odt as well. See pandoc(1) for a complete list. The following options are most relevant:

-o FILE, --output=FILE
Write output to FILE.
--strict
Use strict markdown syntax, with no extensions or variants.
-S, --smart
Use smart quotes, dashes, and ellipses. (This option is significant only when the input format is markdown. It is selected automatically when the output format is latex or context.)
