Re: Automating markdown to odt with fields

[John MACFARLANE <jgm-TVLZxgkOlNX2fBVCVOL8/A@public.gmane.org>]

There are two things to fiddle with.  The --reference-odt,
which can help with style (spacing, margins, etc.), and
the opendocument template, which is a place to put hooks
for content.

You can create a custom opendocument template (use
'pandoc -D opendocument' to get the default one).

In place of $body$ you might have, for example,
$s1$, $s2$, and $s3$, perhaps with some content
intervening.

You can then use pandoc to fill these variables:

pandoc --template mycustom.opendocument main.md -o my.odt \
  -V s1=$(pandoc -f markdown -t opendocument s1.md)
  -V s2=$(pandoc -f markdown -t opendocument s2.md)
  -V s3=$(pandoc -f markdown -t opendocument s3.md)
