How to Build

1. Download and install golang.
2. Go to the source folder and go build -ldflags "-s -w".

Golang environment settings go env affect the build command. In the environment settings, you can define the architecture and OS.

Issues

• Special characters and lowercase Cyrillic letters were lost after a "convert" or "view" operation was performed on files with the .odt extension. Files with the .docx extension do not have this problem.
