Re: Questions about command line abilities and rtf conversion.

Actually you can script abiword using the abicommand plugin.

See:

http://www.abisource.com/wiki/AbiCommand

The advantage of this is that you don't need to unload/reload abiword
to do your document processing.

We use it extensively in our

http://abicollab.net

web service.
