Re: define converters versus textproc category?
So I packages odt2txt so I could read a
Application/VND.OASIS.OPENDOCUMENT.TEXT document.
It converts this "application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text" to plain text.
Tell me the category and I will import.
It is a converter (converters/xlreader).
It is a text processor (like textproc/catdoc).
What is the difference between these two categories? As you can see from
many examples, there is overlap.
This is arbitrary; we don't have a clean decomposition, and rearranging
things is bad, so the best thing is just to choose wisely hoping to
reduce mess.
I think it belongs in converters.
