.SH "Description"
.PP
OpenDocument can be a complete office document in a single XML file\&. The script will take such a document and create a package\&. This is mainly useful as a postprocesser of a program producing XML, such as a stylesheet\&.
.PP
\(lqInputfile\(rq
is assumed to be an OpenDocument file in XML form\&. If there is no inputfile, the program will read from standard input\&. The flag \-s adds correct suffix to the filename according to what mime type is found in the XML file, in cause you don\'t know already what document type you are packaging\&.
.PP
If output file is not specified output will be to standard out\&.
.PP
Section 2\&.1\&.1 of
Open Document Format for Office Applications
says that the [content\&.xml] file contains the document content, along with the
\fIautomatic styles\fR
needed for the document content\&. The [styles\&.xml] file contains all the named styles of a document, along with the
\fIautomatic styles\fR
needed for the named styles\&. The application doesn\'t know which automatic style is needed for what, so it puts the same set of automatic styles into both files\&.
.PP
One could assume that the inverse operation would be easier, but OpenOffice\&.org is quite happy to use the same names for two different automatic styles\&. For instance, a style used inside can have the same name as one used inside but be a different paragraph style\&. This is reported as bug #90494 (http://www\&.openoffice\&.org/issues/show_bug\&.cgi?id=90494)

The library used for the parsing of XML expands empty elements from to \&. It should not have an effect on the document parsing\&.
