# text2odf(1p)

Text to OpenDocument conversion

## NAME

text2odf - Text to OpenDocument conversion

## SYNOPSIS

cat sourcefile.txt \| text2odf targetfile.odt

## DESCRIPTION

This filter creates an OpenDocument (ODF) file and fills it with the text coming through the standard entry. The target file is created, and any existing file with the same name is replaced. To avoid this behaviour and append the text to an existing ODF file, just remove the create =\> 'text' option in the script.
