NAME
       wvWare - convert msword documents

SYNOPSIS
       wvWare  [-c  charset]  [--charset  charset]  [-p  password]  [--password password] [-x config.xml]
       [--config config.xml] [-d dir] [--dir dir] filename

DESCRIPTION
       wvWare converts word documents into other formats such as PS,PDF,HTML,LaTeX,DVI,ABW

   OPTIONS
       -c charset, --charset charset
              word 97 documents are stored in one of two formats, either in 8 bit  windows  code‐
              pages or in 16 bit unicode. The unicode can be converted easily into utf-8, and the
              codepages are promoted to unicode and converted from there, except for the  western
              european codepage which is always converted to iso-5589-15 if possible. This is the
              default behaviour. While it is possible to convert into other formats or to force a
              conversion to a particular format, it is not recommended as you don't get a guaran‐
              tee that the output will be correct. For instance, if you convert an English  docu‐
              ment  into  koi8-r encoding then it will be wrong, but if you are sure then you can
              override the default output format. The charsets that are available depend on  your
              system:  systems using the gnu libc 2 and above can convert to just about anything;
              systems that at, wv configure time, prove to be inadequate for  charset  conversion
              use  wv's internal conversion formats which are a small subset of the possible con‐
              versions, namely: utf-8 iso-5589-15 koi8-r tis-620

       -p password, --password password
              Due to heroic work done by a great team of workers,  the  wv  library  can  decrypt
              password  protected  word 97 and older versions of word documents given the correct
              password.

       -d dir, --dir dir
              If dir is used then any created graphics will be  placed  in  this  directory.  The
              default is the directory in which the word document resides.

       -b name, --basename name
              Use name as the base name for image files.

       -a format, --auto-eps format
              Depending on whether images of type format can be automatically converted to encap‐
              sulated PostScript, print "yes" or  "no"  and  exit.   Encapsulated  PostScript  is
              required for LaTeX, PostScript, and PDF output.  Currently possible values for for‐
              mat are "wmf", "png", and "jpg".

       -s format, --suppress format
              Suppress automatic conversion of images of type format to encapsulated  PostScript.
              Currently possible values for format are "wmf", "emf", "png", "jpg", and "pict".

       -1, --nographics
              Suppress output of embedded images.

       -x config.xml, --config config.xml
              Use  this  to give the location of the config file. If not used, the config file is
              searched for by first checking the current directory, and then by  looking  in  the
              install location (/usr/local/lib/wv/wvHtml.xml by default)

       -X, --xml
              Produce XHTML-like XML output (as defined in /usr/local/lib/wv/wvXml.xml).

       -v, --version
              Print wvWare's version number and exit.

       -?, --help
              Print a help message and exit.
