NAME¶
odf2pod - POD generation from an OpenDocument file
SYNOPSIS¶
Usage : odf2pod <filename>
DESCRIPTION¶
This demo script exports the content of a given OpenDocument file to POD on the
standard output. In the present form, it's quite limited and not flexible, in
order to remain easily readable. It should be considered as an example of text
extraction using OpenOffice::OODoc and not as the 'definitive' odf2pod filter,
knowing that complex document structures are not properly rendered.
Before extraction, some transformations are done in the document in order to
make it more convenient for a POD presentation. Some pieces of metadata
(title, subject, description), if defined, are reported in the beginning of
the POD. The footnotes are removed from the content and reported in a special
section at the end.
This script needs Text::Wrapper (that is not necessarily required by the
OpenOffice::OODoc installation). To implement more sophisicated presentation
rules, you could use Text::Format instead.
