odt template

[-- Attachment #1.1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1300 bytes --]

Hi,

I am new to pandoc and so greatful for it making my life easier. Thank you!
I mainly use pandoc to convert markdown files into odt files (or pdf). My 
odt files must conform a 'visual identity' so I used reference document and 
it does the job of formating just well.

However, I have in my reference doc a cover page with tables, images and 
variables that I would like to have in the pandoc output. Unfortunately 
reference-odt does strip out every content, including my cover page (and 
other things).
Is there any way I can "include" a cover page (with all the needed 
elements: variables?

Is there any other way to acheive this (except from copy paste pandoc 
rendered doc to a new doc with the cover page?

Regards,

I'm not sure whether pandoc's include file feature will work here.

Have you tried other solutions like the one mentioned here:

Re: odt template

You might be able to achieve this by using both a
reference-odt and a custom opendocument template in
conjunction.

    --reference-odt my-ref.odt --template my-template.xml

The OpenDocument template would have variables, references
to the images, etc.

I'm getting there!
Indeed using an xml template seems to do the job.
However when doing so, the styles mapped to my markdown blockquotes are not 
"quotations" anymore. It is instead mapped to a custom style.
Does anyone knows why? or explain me how styles are mapped?

Thank you

Styles are quite a mess in opendocument and Open/LibreOffice: named
styles are stored in a file named styles.xml, but other styles are
created on the fly and stored in the file named content.xml. Usually
these later styles inherit some of their properties from the ones stored
in the styles.xml file.

Now, I would do like this: first try using your properly formatted odt
document -- without creating a template -- as your reference-odt file
with the "--reference-odt" pandoc command line option. This will force
pandoc to use the named styles from your document's styles.xml file.

If the result is not what you expect you probably need to change the
names of the styles in your reference document (your properly formatted
odt file) in order to match the name of the styles used by pandoc to
format the opendocument output. If you have a look at the reference.odt
file that comes with the pandoc source you will see the names of the
used styles -- basically the default named styles and some custom styles
you can visualize with the stylist.

Hope this helps.

Have you tried modifying a pandoc-created odt file from within LibreOffice
(using the Styles and Formatting window) and using that as a reference.odt file?
That's the method I use and it works well.

Sorry, that can't be done in templates.  You'd have to modify the
RTF writer code.  (Or do some kind of postprocessing of the output.)

Futzed through the afternoon trying various things, none of which worked.
Seems a little too hard to get right. I don't understand the ODT details
well enough.

So...

I'm trying to understand how to do a template in RTF. How do I tell pandoc
that I want my paragraphs to be "\par\plain {\f1\fs24\b0\i0 ..."?

I find the way styles work in opendocument/ODT a bit confusing myself.
Andrea Rossatto wrote the OpenDocument writer, and he may be able to
help more than I.

Re: ODT template

[fiddlosopher]

There are two things you can modify:

- the opendocument template (default.opendocument in templates/)
- the reference.odt (which you can find in pandoc's data directory)

You can make pandoc use modified versions of both using --template and
--reference-odt.

An ODT is a zip file containing the xml content (which is produced
using
the opendocument template) and other stuff, like images and styles
(these
are in reference.odt).

Hope that helps.

ODT template

[Orcus Oden]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 1485 bytes --]

I want to make an ODT template, but so far I have been unsuccessful.

The goal is to produce an ODT template that supports Shunn Short Story
format <http://www.shunn.net/format/story.html>. I have an ODT document
that I wrote in that document format and, frankly, I have no idea how to
turn that document into a template.

I tried starting simply by creating an ODT template from pandoc. But the
ODT file produced by pandoc caused a "this file is corrupted" error from
LibreOffice when I tried using it directly as a template. So then I looked
at the ODT template that pandoc uses by default. While illuminating, it
only showed me that I don't understand how pandoc produces ODT files.

My Shunn-format ODT file has a styles folder (obviously) that have all the
important information about fonts and sizes for the various styles used in
the document. But how do I get that information integrated into the kind of
template I see in the pandoc templates folder?

And how would I tell pandoc when I want to use what style in the ODT output?

thanks for any help,
O.O.
