Hi!

Is it possible to provide some wrappers to convert documents using
abiword? For example, small wrappers like doc2txt, doc2pdf, abw2pdf,
etc.

It can output files in .abw, .awt, .doc, .html, .mht, .rtf, .txt,
..zabw and .pdf

Conversion can be made with "abiword -t <output format> inputfile"
Example: "abiword -t pdf file.abw" will create a file.pdf

In case a wrapper conflicts with an already available converter, it can
be possible to use the alternatives system (like it's already done with
odt2txt and unoconv, both providing odt2txt).

Thank you very much!

Best regards,
Nelson

As opposed to OpenOffice.org, abiword natively provides an easy-to-use
command-line interface:

  $ abiword --to=EXT inputfile

where EXT is the extension of the format of your choice.

I don't see any benefits in providing additional aliases for this
syntax.

Kind regards,
Patrik
