SYNOPSIS

oohighlight "myfile.sxw" "search string" -r "replacement" -o "target.sxw"

oohighlight "myfile.sxw" "search string" -color "green"

highlights each occurrence of "search string" in "myfile.sxw" with a green background color, without changing the text (without "-o" option, the changes apply to "myfile.sxw"

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"

                for OOo advanced users only ! 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 option, you should have some knowledge of the
                OpenOffice styling vocabulary
        
        -o --output "filename"
        -t --target "filename"

                an alternative filename to save the modified document, when
                the source document must remain unchanged
