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
