Bug#661654: libreoffice-common: 'man libreoffice': "--convert-to" available filter list not described.



Thanks for that prompt, forthright, and corrective critique of my bug
report, Rene.  After consideration, I've found two _other_ flaws in my
initial report:

	1) It should have been two reports.
		i)  wishlist: '--convert-to help' command line feature wanted.
		ii) docs:     '--convert-to' docs insufficient.

	2) It now seems obvious my report suffered from vague pronoun usage,
	   something of an American custom that can cause confusion
	   for international readers.  (Debian has many such readers, perhaps
	   a majority.)

	   Specifically, my usage of the pronoun "these" here:

		...'odi' & 'swf' examples...
		These should all be documented.  

	   I'd intended the pronoun "these" to signify the two major file extensions 
	   "odi" and "swf", as extensions only.  But as you've shown, "these"
	   could also be inferred to signify "all file extensions, written as
	   examples"!

	   My apologies... and I'll try to nail down my pronouns better in the
	   future.

You raised some other good points, perhaps more on which later.

Meanwhile, I intend to split this bug as per '1)' above.

Thanks again, and HTH...
