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

[Bastien DUMONT <bastien.dumont-VwIFZPTo/vqsTnJN9+BGXg@public.gmane.org>]

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.
