* Convert files using pandoc

Use pandoc with "-s" flag to produce a standalone document and "-o" to redirect
output to a file.

In the example a file "foo" is converted from ~odt~ to ~org~

#+begin_example bash
  pandoc -s -o foo.org foo.odt
#+end_example 

Check the manual for more information:

#+begin_example bash
  man pandoc 
#+end_example

** Convert multiple files using 'xarg'

Convert all ~odt~ files to ~emacs-org~:

#+begin_example bash
  find . -type f -name '*.odt' -print0 | xargs -0 -n2 -P2 pandoc {} -f odt -o {}.org
#+end_example
