Free OpenDocument converter (to HTML, DocBook, or any XML)

[holloway]

Hi guys

A few years ago I came to this forum looking for a way of using OpenOffice.org to convert MS Word Docs to OpenDocument, and I came away with a few macros. I turned those macros into a web service, so you upload Word Docs and use OOo to get back OpenDocument or HTML, and I've been working on this conversion software ever since. Recently I got to version 3.0, so here it is!

It's all open source, http://holloway.co.nz/docvert/

Oh and here's a demo (you can only upload ODT files to this one because it doesn't have OOo running in the background, but give it an ODT to convert and you'll still get the idea)

Let me know what you think, cheers.
