# 4d-plugin-doctotext
4D implementation of [DocToText](https://silvercoders.com/en/products/doctotext/).
### Abstract
the goal of this project is to support legacy Microsoft Word documents with the `.doc` file extension.
* [`wv`](https://sourceforge.net/projects/wvware/files/wv/) can load and parse Word 2000, 97, 95 and 6 file formats.
* [`wvware`](http://wvware.sourceforge.net) is a document converter that uses `wv` to import `.doc` files. the outout format includes `.rtf`, `.txt`, `.tex`, `.pdf` or `.html`. see [unofficial mirror](https://github.com/remram44/wvware).
* [`abiword`](http://www.abisource.com) is a word processor that uses `wv` to import `.doc` files. it has a command line interface and server mode, similar to OpenOffice, that can be uses as a document converter. `wvware` deprecated its own suite of converters in favour of `abiword`.
* [`wv2`](https://sourceforge.net/projects/wvware/files/wv2/) is the successor to `wv`. it depends on `zlib`, `libgsf`, `libbz2`, `libxml2`, `libiconv` and `glib`, which in turns depends on `libffi` and `libpcre`.
* [`doctotext`](http://silvercoders.com/en/products/doctotext/) is a document converter that uses `wv2` to import `.doc` files. additionally it uses [`libcharsetdetect`](https://github.com/batterseapower/libcharsetdetect), [`htmlcxx`](http://htmlcxx.sourceforge.net), `libmimetic`, `minizip` to support other input formats. the outout format is always plain text.
* [`pthread-win32`](https://github.com/GerHobbelt/pthread-win32) nuget might not work, need to compile from source.
