.SH "Name"
loconvert \- Commandline Document Converter Using LibreOffice
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B loconvert
[\fB\-\-help\fR] [\fB\-\-force\fR]  \fIinput\fR \fIoutput\fR

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

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

.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fIinput\fR
Input file. The filename suffix must be one of the currently supported
file formats, see below.
.TP
\fIoutput\fR
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
\fB\-\-force\fR option.
.TP
\fB\-\-help\fR
Print help and exit.
.TP
\fB\-\-force\fR
Force an already existing output file to be replaced.

.SH SUPPORTED FILE FORMATS
