LibreOffice documents batch conversion

`Convert-to` command line parameter

https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/convert-to-command-line-parameter/840

The format for “convert-to” parameter is:

--convert-to output_file_extension[:output_filter_name] [--outdir output_dir]

What are the valid output_file_extension values? What are the valid output_filter_name values?

For the documentation, the soffice --help showed the --convert-to
parameter. The help->LibreOffice Help does not show this parameter.

This is the general format of convert-to (noting that on windows the parameter is -convert-to not --convert-to):

soffice --headless --convert-to <TargetFileExtension>:<NameOfFilter> file_to_convert.xxx

Use the link above (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/filter/source/config/fragments/filters) to look for the filter names in the .xcu files.
