Presentation

odtfusion lets you merge text files or fragment of text files in an OpenDocument Text document.

To include files in a .odt:

• Create a .odt

• Add placeholders for the text files. Placeholders are paragraphs of the form:

  ${file.cpp}

• Run odtfusion like this:

  odtfusion.py input.odt output.odt dir-containing-text-files

To include fragments of text files:

• Insert fragment delimiters in your text files. Fragment delimiters look like this:

  /// my-fragment

• In your odt-file, refer to the fragment by using a placeholder like this:

  ${file.cpp#my-fragment}

There is also another tool: odtdump, which can be used to dump an indented version of the content.xml of a .odt document. This tool can be useful for debugging.

Future

I may add a way to specify custom placeholders in the future, as well as content-specific fragment delimiters (for example using "### my-fragment" for Python or shell scripts)
