NAME

       wvWare - convert msword documents


SYNOPSIS

       wvWare [-c charset] [--charset charset] [-p password] [--password
       password] [-x config.xml] [--config config.xml] [-d dir] [--dir dir]
       filename


DESCRIPTION

       wvWare converts word documents into other formats such as
       PS,PDF,HTML,LaTeX,DVI,ABW

   OPTIONS
       -c charset, --charset charset
              word 97 documents are stored in one of two formats, either in 8
              bit windows codepages or in 16 bit unicode. The unicode can be
              converted easily into utf-8, and the codepages are promoted to
              unicode and converted from there, except for the western
              european codepage which is always converted to iso-5589-15 if
              possible. This is the default behaviour. While it is possible to
              convert into other formats or to force a conversion to a
              particular format, it is not recomended as you don't get a
              guarantee that the output will be correct. For instance, if you
              convert an english document into koi8-r encoding then it will be
              wrong, but if you are sure then you can override the default
              output format. The charsets that are available depend on your
              system: systems using the gnu libc 2 and above can convert to
              just about anything; systems that at, wv configure time, prove
              to be inadequate for charset conversion use wv's internal
              conversion formats which are a small subset of the possible
              conversions, namely: utf-8 iso-5589-15 koi8-r tis-620

       -p password, --password password
              Due to heroic work done by a great team of workers, the wv
              library can decrypt password protected word 97 and older
              versions of word documents given the correct password.

       -d dir, --dir dir
              If dir is used then any created graphics will be placed in this
              directory. The default is the directory in which the word
              document resides.

       -x config.xml, --config config.xml
              Use this to give the location of the config file. If not used,
              the config file is searched for by first checking the current
              directory, and then by looking in the install location
              (/usr/local/lib/wv/wvHtml.xml by default)
