Title style in ODT writer

Title style in ODT writer

[Ryan Gray]

I was playing around with Markdown to ODT and noticed the title gets
styled with "Header 1" rather than "Title". I was created a custom ODT
template via `pandoc -D odt` and just changed the title style name to
"Title" from, oddly "Header_20_1". This worked fine, and I then just
apply my style template to it, overwriting same-named styles.

Then I found the --reference-odt option, which is great, because I
don't have to open OOo and apply my style template, eliminating a
manual step. However, it also styles the title with "Header 1" rather
than "Title". I found the way around this was to use both my reference-
odt and my custom ODT template, then the title came out styled as
"Title" and my styles were already included.

So, I was just wondering if there was a particular reason the title is
set to "Header 1". If not, would it seems it could be more useful to
have it styled as "Title" by default.

Additionally, I can't seem to get the same effect by putting both in
the --data-dir as described in the user's guide. I get my reference-
odt applied, but no also the ODT template, whereas specifying both on
the command line would use both. I have:

~/.pandoc/reference.odt
~/.pandoc/templates/odt.template

You need to call this

~/.pandoc/templates/opendocument.template

because pandoc first converts to opendocument XML, then creates
the ODT from that.

As of this date (12/3/2014), using the default ODT template, the ODT 
document title is styled with the title style, but gets numbered in the 
heading 1 heading sequence.

I don't really understand this behavior, as I can't see any link in the 
style to heading 1, but it does behave that way.

Using a default Libreoffice style for title, this does not happen.

It seems to be an issue with the title style in the default ODT template.

I am using Pandoc 1.13.1 on Windows.
