Re: SOLVED: Unicode Text export

Hi Dominic,

Thanks for your input, the --exp-props option worked like a charm. Is
there anything about these options in the documentation? Is there some
wiki where I could add a few hacked-up notes on text exporting? With
wvWare claiming their CLI conversion functionality is 'deprecated', I
think it would be useful for people with my needs - i.e. full-text
indexing of diverse documents and so forth.

Cheers,

Apollon
