Docx / OpenDocument output based on template

Docx / OpenDocument output based on template

Hi All,

I've been working on implementing a 'word processor' compatible output from 
the Markdown source that I'm using to build my existing LaTeX/PDF documents.

At this stage I've managed to implement styles, margins, header and footer, 
etc by using a docx reference-doc, however I also need to implement some 
branding (etc) to create a Title Page and some additional (templated) 
content / pages prior to the document body (or ToC) preferably with the 
ability to pull from document metadata.

Based on a look at the various writers and pandoc templates available it 
doesn't seem like this is easily possible using docx in the same way as say 
LaTeX, however there is a default.opendocument template; If my 
understanding is corrrect this works in conjunction with a .odt 
`--reference-doc` to produce output. Am I on the right track here, or does 
odt output behave similarly to docx, only using the reference doc to inform 
the output?

What would be the best way to implement something like this? Am I best off 
attempting to use docx and implementing a filter to get my additional 
content injected before the body, or is modifying the opendocument template 
likely to be a better option?

Thanks for the advice!

Just a guess until someone more versed in pandoc reacts:

If you are able to modify opendocument template to your liking, maybe the 
way you could do this would be to convert your source to .odt; then this 
.odt convert to .docx. My guess is that this would be faster than doing 
this with lua filter. I believe that in .odt export both files 
(opendocument template and reference doc) are used to create final 
document. I tested it someday but cant find the project ...
