Well, the fault is with odt2txt, in that it's not able to work with
standard input. That's how the text gets passed to it. So unlike antiword
for instance, when you:
antiword file.doc
cat file.doc | antiword -
you get the same output, i.e. the file is parsed. However with odt2txt
with:
odt2txt file.odt
the file is parsed. However with:
cat file.odt | odt2txt -
you just get odt2txt help text.
I'm not up to rewriting odt2txt source to enable standard input.
I'll try experimenting with mm-save-part-to-file, so that it could then
perhaps be submitted to odt2txt...
