How to create a library office document via terminal?

Question

linux

Hello!
I can't create an office document through the terminal, I write, > file.odt

but in the end a plain text file is created
. How to be?

Answer 1

> file.odt
It's just a redirect to a file.
And what exactly do you write there - you parsed the libre office format and write data in this format, or just write text to a file and get a text file (logically?)

Answer 2

For a file to be libreoffice, it must be in libre office format. The contents of this file must comply with the odf standard, at a minimum.
Well, if you need to get this format from the input stream, use the pandoc utility for example. It must be installed separately, it is in the packages of the main distributions.

Answer 3

For example, in a hurry (requires the installed python pyodf package):

echo "Hello world" | python -c 'import sys;from odf.opendocument import OpenDocumentText;from odf.text import H, P, Span;textdoc = OpenDocumentText();p = P(text=sys.stdin.read());textdoc.text.addElement(p);textdoc.save("out.odt")'
