life saver of the day: #libreoffice --headless --convert-to csv file.xls

I didn't know you could run Libreoffice "headless", that's a great tip in general :-)

This is how I generate a public grade sheet in HTML (embedded as preformatted text) from my grade book in LibreOffice using only the command line. #headlessrulez

Yep. Something similar but in reverse fills one slot in my workflow for making my ledger-cli accounting understandable for my accountant.

If there is already a libreoffice running, things get confusing though. IMO, a headless converter should have no business talking to a LO GUI process.
