Convert Mac Pages to HTML in Powershell


# A very crude Mac Pages to HTML converter in Powershell
# Preserves no formatting save for line breaks.
# Useful to extract the text so you can paste into Word
# A .pages file is a Zip; extract it to get the index.xml file 
# and parse out the paragraphs. 
# Note there's also a preview.pdf in the zip if all you need is to print.
# 
# Pass the .pages file on the command line
# .\Pages-ToHtml.ps1 '.\Path\To\File.pages' > Converted.html
#
# Requires PSCX
Import-Module PSCX

$layout = $xml.document."text-storage"."text-body".section.layout
# Stripped of all formatting
