多谢!
Frank Feng Oct 20, 2016:
这一段是两个工具的介绍之间的过渡和衔接。因为这里说了,Pandoc只能处理文本格式的文件,更复杂的文件(所以需要“帮助”)就需要用到LibreOffice这个工具了(虽然通常是GUI形式的,但是也可以用于命令行方式)
clearwater (asker) Oct 20, 2016:
可这部分都在介绍Pandoc啊?!
LibreOffice是后面才介绍的。
Frank Feng Oct 20, 2016:
这个“意料不到的来源”指的就是下文的“LibreOffice”,因为这是一个GUI应用,而不是命令行工具。但是它的特殊用法可以在命令行方式的文件转换中给出一些“帮助”
Frank Feng Oct 20, 2016:
更多上下文?
clearwater (asker) Oct 20, 2016:
命令行处的帮助来自意想不到的来源?
不明白。

LibreOffice

You're probably thinking "Hold on! LibreOffice is a GUI application." Yes, it is. But what many people don't know is that you can run LibreOffice from the command line to quickly convert one of more files.

How? To, for example, transform a LibreOffice Impress slide deck to PDF you'd type the following:

soffice --headless --convert-to pdf mySlides.odp
You'd just replace pdf with the extension of whatever file format you want to convert to. The --headless option, case you're wondering, stops an empty LibreOffice window from opening on your desktop.

It's overkill to use LibreOffice at the command line to convert a single file. However, turning to the command line is a great way to convert several files at once. If, say, you want to convert all of the Microsoft Word documents in a folder to LibreOffice Writer format, you'd type:

——————————从上下文来看,感觉这是一个省略句,大意是命令行提供的帮助 (即通过命令行) 可以处理来自意想不到来源的文件。相当于 Help at the command line (can handle a document that) comes from an unexpected source.
