Hello,

Could you tell me why an error occurs when I try to produce a template / reference file either in odt or docx file format ?

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

Then the terminal print this types of characters and pandoc quit with a 0 error code.

6�>A!�%&�z���8K���*g��RK�T�u��9▒���;�~���hM�=q�}�9Y�QA+H"��0���.(���

But there is no custom-reference.odt file in  the user data directory

Is it because the version is 2.2.1 on Kubuntu 18.10 ?

$pandoc --version

pandoc 2.2.1
Compiled with pandoc-types 1.17.4.2, texmath 0.10.1.2, skylighting 0.6
Default user data directory: /home/pierre/.pandoc

Pandoc has been installed in /home/pierre/.locale/share/pandoc

I have tried both copying the directory in /home/.pandoc/ and created a symlink from .locale/share/pandoc but result still be the same.

Thank you for your help
