Output options

If the 2nd argument is not passed to pinmix tool it will just print the result to the standard output. Otherwise it will create ODT file that can be read f.e. by OpenOffice. That file will contain output of the transformation parts put in different styles. It makes possible to you to make your pinyin or the original parts different by applying different formatting to them. The example of that kind of usage is the following:

pinmix chinese.txt chinesedoc.odt

It will create open office doc based on pinmix transformation.
