SYNOPSIS

odfhighlight ``source.odt'' ``search string'' -r ``replacement'' -o ``target.odt''

replaces ``search string'' by ``replacement'' in the file ``source.odt'', highlights each replacement with a yellow (default) backgound, then writes the resulting document as ``target.odt''

odfhighlight ``myfile.odt'' ``search string'' -color ``green''

highlights each occurrence of ``search string'' in ``myfile.odt'' with a green background color, without changing the text (without ``-o'' option, the changes apply to ``myfile.odt''

ARGUMENTS AND OPTIONS

Default behaviour

With the ``minimal'' command line, with only a filename and a string as arguments, each matching string is highlighted with a yellow background and represented with the ``Standard'' style.

Options

 -e --encoding "xxxxxx"
 character set to use, if different from the default
 
 -r --replacement "new string"
 "new string" is used as a replacement for "search string"
 -c --color "code"
 an RGB color code, expressed either as the concatenation of
 3 comma-separated decimal values (each one in the range
 0..255, ex: "72,61,139" for a dark slate blue), or a 6-digit
 hexadecimal number, preceded by a "#" (ex: #00ff00 for green)
 or, if a colormap is available and known in your
 OpenOffice::OODoc installation, a symbolic color name (ex:
 "sky blue")
 -s --stylename "name"
 the name of the color style (default: "MyHighlight"); the
 user must provide a style name that is not already in use
 in the document
 -p --property "property=value"
 This option can be repeated; each occurrence gives an
 additional property for the highlight style (font name, size,
 foreground color, ...). For example, with the combination of
 -p 'fo:color=#ff0000' and -p 'fo:font-size=18pt', the
 highlighted text will be made of 18pt-sized, red characters.
 In order to master these options, you should have some
 knowledge of the Form Objects (FO) vocabulary that is used
 in the OpenDocument specification.
 
 -o --output "filename"
 -t --target "filename"
 an alternative filename to save the modified document, when
 the source document must remain unchanged
