metapensiero.odt2sphinx 1.0.dev20151105

What is it ?

Odt2sphinx converts OpenDocument Text file(s) to one or several .rst files.

This is a fork of Christophe de Vienne odt2sphinx.

Install

pip install metapensiero.odt2sphinx

Usage

usage: odt2sphinx [-h] [--debug] [--download-source-link]
                  [--encoding ENCODING]
                  source [target]

ODT to RST

positional arguments:
  source                Source ODT file to be converted
  target                Either destination directory or single .rst target
                        filename

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --debug               Emit debug noise
  --download-source-link
                        Add a link to the ODT source file
  --encoding ENCODING   Output encoding, by default UTF-8

Output files

There are two modes of operation:

1. Sphinx, splitting the source in multiple files, one per chapter

2. Monolithic single plain reST output

The first mode is selected by omitting the second positional argument, or giving it the name of a directory. The latter is selected by specifing a file name with a .rst extension as the second positional argument.

Styles mapping

The following rules will be applied to particulary styles when converting an .odt file. The style names are case-insensitive.

“Title” (in any language)

Becomes the main document title (underlined with ‘=’)

“Title 1”

Creates a new page named after the title, and becomes this page main title (underlined with ‘=’); a reference to this file is inserted in a .. toctree directive of the index.rst file

“Title 2” to “Title 6”

Becomes sub-chapter titles, underlined respectively ‘-’, ‘~’, ‘^’, ‘”’, “’”

“Warning” (or “Avertissement”)

The chapter becomes the content of a .. warning directive

“Tip” (or “Trucs & Astuces”)

The chapter becomes the content of a .. tip directive

“Note” or “Information”

The chapter becomes the content of a .. note directive
