Converting headings (.odt -> .tex)

Converting headings (.odt -> .tex)

[Ian Fantom]

I've tried converting a book in .odt (LibreOffice Writer / Ubuntu) to 
.tex and viewing it in Texstudio.

It's not converting any of the headings and subheadings - just producing 
normal text. I used the '-s' and the '-o' options.

I think there must be something I haven't understood in the Pandoc User 
Guide (https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html)

I was expecting some way of defining a conversion table from Writer to 
Latex. For instance:

'Preface' is in style 'subtitle' in Writer, and is converted to: 
'\protect\hypertarget{anchor-4}{}{}Preface' and appears as normal text 
in .tex.

Any ideas how I should proceed?

Thanks, Ian Fantom

Probably whoever wrote the ODT file faked the headings by enlarging the
font and applying bold font rather than applying the "Heading 1" etc named
paragraph styles. Only the latter will be recognised as headings by Pandoc.
There are a lot of such files in the wild.

Well the .odt file uses styles from Writer: Title, Subtitle, Header3.

Would looking up the code used in the .fodt help?

Re: Converting headings (.odt -> .tex)

I'm still puzzled on how the correspondences work. I must be 
misunderstanding something in the Manual 
(https://pandoc.org/chunkedhtml-demo/6-templates.html).

If I enter 'pandoc -D odt' then I get the contents of the default file 
for odt, but if I enter 'pandoc -D tex' I get "Could not find data file 
templates/default.tex".

The odt default file contains the lines:

- ---------------

$for(header-includes)$
   $header-includes$

...

$if(title)$
<text:p text:style-name="Title">$title$</text:p>
$endif$
$if(subtitle)$
<text:p text:style-name="Subtitle">$subtitle$</text:p>
$endif$

- -----------------------

The odt book title is of type 'Title', and the chapter titles are of 
type 'Subtitle'. Subheadings are of type 'Header 3'. But instead of 
getting chapter headings I get eg:

\protect\hypertarget{anchor-4}{}{}Preface

Perhaps someone  could explain.

Many thanks,

Ian

Re: Converting headings (.odt -> .tex)

[Bastien DUMONT]

Indeed, Pandoc does not seem to extract the title and the subtitle. I just created an ODT file with the following body:

```
   <text:p text:style-name="Title">Title</text:p>
   <text:p text:style-name="Subtitle">subtitle</text:p>
   <text:p text:style-name="P1"/>
   <text:h text:style-name="Heading_20_3" text:outline-level="3">A header</text:h>
```

The two first elements are handled as normal paragraph. However, the last element is correctly read as a header level 3.

You could set the title and the subtitle in a metadata file (called with --metadata-file) and remove them from your odt file. As for your headers, we cannot know why Pandoc does not recognize them without looking into your file (are, better, a sample of your file reduced to the strict minimum).

To get the default file for LaTeX, run pandoc -D latex.

Thanks. Is that

libreoffice --metadata-file

I'm not getting anything.

Re: Converting headings (.odt -> .tex)

[BPJ]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 8009 bytes --]

In a text file metadata.yaml:

title: Title Text
subtitle: Subtitle Text

where obviously "Title Text" and "Subtitle Text" should be replaced with
your title and subtitle.

Then add

--metadata-file metadata.yaml

to your pandoc command line.

(The YAML file can be called anything. I used "metadata" for explanatory
purposes.)

Also you may get better results if you save the ODT file as a DOCX file in
Writer and convert from docx to latex with pandoc.

Re: Converting headings (.odt -> .tex)

[Bastien DUMONT]

Your styles may not have the names expected by Pandoc. To know what it supports, you can use the command

pandoc -o reference.odt --print-default-data-file reference.odt

and inspect the styles included in the document.
