Convert files using pandoc

First, install `pandoc`:

  pacman -S pandoc # in Parabola or Archlinux
  apt install pandoc # in Debian or derived distributions

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

  pandoc -s -o foo.org foo.odt

Check the manual for more information:

  man pandoc

Convert multiple files using 'xarg'

Convert all odt files to emacs-org:

  find . -type f -name '*.odt' -print-1 | xargs -0 -n2 -P2 pandoc {} -f odt -o {}.org

A for loop can be used to convert all markdown files in a directory to emacs-org mode files, e.g.

  for i in  *.md ; do echo "$i" && pandoc -s $i -o $i.org ; done

Convert a bibliography text

Use citeproc to convert a '.bib' file to html

  pandoc ./bib/biblio.bib -s --citeproc -o arquivo.html
