I did some highlighting of lines of text in a Libre Writer .odt file. And now I'm trying to grep them into another file using Highlight Color as the only pattern. I'm not exhausted but, i did look around and found nothing about this. Do you know how to get into a .odt file and grep out this? thanks

You can use grep in the terminal to find occurrences of words, phrases or regex patterns in .odt files.
I answered a question on it some time ago:

I’m not sure if that’s exactly what you’re after though.
Libreoffice does have a scripting language built into it, similar to the VBScript used by M$ Office, but I’ve never used it. That will probably allow you to create a script that could be used to find and highlight occurrences of the currently selected text. But again, I’ve never used LibreOffice’s scripting language.
