Name
       loconvert - Commandline Document Converter Using LibreOffice

SYNOPSIS
       loconvert [--help] [--force]  input output

DESCRIPTION
       This  tool  converts  documents between various formats on the command‐
       line.  It uses LibreOffice that guarantees  the	quality	 of  available
       import and export filters.

       This  tool tries to start LibreOffice in the server mode on background.
       It does not work if the LibreOffice application has already  been  run‐
       ning.  Also it slows down the conversion a lot. We hope to reduce these
       limitations in the further versions.

OPTIONS
       input  Input file. The filename suffix must be  one  of	the  currently
	      supported file formats, see below.

       output Output file. The filename suffix defines the output file format.
	      It must be one from the table below. An  existing	 file  can  be
	      overwritten by the --force option.

       --help Print help and exit.

       --force
	      Force an already existing output file to be replaced.

SUPPORTED FILE FORMATS
       The  current  version  of this tool does not read the list of available
       input and output filters directly from LibreOffice. The	list  of  sup‐
       ported file formats is hardcoded and thus limited to:
