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
