## NAME
       rst2odt_prepstyles - strip paper size specifications off of rst2odt stylesheets

## SYNOPSIS
       **rst2odt**___**prepstyles** _FILE_

## DESCRIPTION
       [**rst2odt**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/rst2odt/1/markdown)  uses  a  stylesheet  file  as a template for the ODT files it creates.  The stock
       **styles.odt** file shipped with it comes without page dimensions.  When **rst2odt** is run  and  de‐
       tects that there no paper size is given in the stylesheet, it is automatically determined us‐
       ing [**paperconf**(1)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/paperconf/1/markdown).

       When editing stylesheets with OpenOffice.org Writer  (or  similar  programs),  the  resulting
       files  always  carry  a  page size.  **rst2odt** respects this setting and ensures that documents
       processed with custom stylesheets look the same regardless of the host it is running on.   If
       you  want  to  get  the  original  behavior,  i.e. a system-dependent paper size, you can run
       **rst2odt**___**prepstyles** over your custom stylesheet.  Remember to re-run the command whenever  you
       change the file with a word processor.
