NAME

       rst2odt_prepstyles - strip paper size specifications off of rst2odt stylesheets

SYNOPSIS

       rst2odt_prepstyles FILE

DESCRIPTION

       rst2odt(1)  uses a stylesheet file as a template for the ODT files it creates.  The stock styles.odt file
       shipped with it comes without page dimensions.  When rst2odt is run and detects that there no paper  size
       is given in the stylesheet, it is automatically determined using paperconf(1).

       When  editing  stylesheets  with  OpenOffice.org Writer (or similar programs), the resulting files always
       carry a page size.  rst2odt respects this setting  and  ensures  that  documents  processed  with  custom
       stylesheets  look  the  same  regardless  of  the host it is running on.  If you want to get the original
       behavior, i.e. a system-dependent paper size, you can run rst2odt_prepstyles over your custom stylesheet.
       Remember to re-run the command whenever you change the file with a word processor.
