Docvert

Docvert is a handy tool that helps you convert OpenDocument files into HTML or any XML format. This happens through something called XML Pipelines, which supports XSLT. It can break up your content based on headings or sections and save the results into multiple files like chapter1.html, chapter2.html, and so on.

Easy Conversions with Docvert

When you're done, you'll get everything back in a .zip file. Isn't that cool?

User-Friendly Interface

One of the best parts about Docvert is its user-friendly interface. It's super easy to integrate with other software too because it uses a simple REST-style interface. Plus, it's open-source under the LGPL license. That means you can build proprietary software on top of it without any legal headaches!

Structured XML Output

The XML that Docvert produces is cleaner and more organized compared to WordML or .DOC formats. It makes life easier for developers and users alike.

Built on Solid Foundations

Docvert builds upon the hard work of various word processors like OpenOffice.org, Abiword, and soon KOffice. They’ve spent years reverse engineering things to make this possible.

The Power of Standards

You know what's great? OpenDocument (or ODF) follows an international ISO standard called ISO/IEC 26300. This means Docvert gets to enjoy all the benefits that come with having a solid standard behind it!
