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

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.
