I pushed few user-visible improvements to org-lparse/org-odt a few
minutes ago. With these changes an exported document could be
post-processed to another format (using an external converter) with just
a single command (i.e., you no longer have to launch OpenOffice and do
"Save As" etc)
(For the impatient: Start with item 3!)
1. A choice of command-line converters for org-lparse dependent backends
like org-odt and org-xhtml.
M-x customize-variable RET org-lparse-convert-processes RET
- Currently two converters are supported.
1. BasicODConverter - Home-brewed converter. This is available as
an OpenOffice extension in contrib/odt/BasicODConverter dir of
org git repo.
2. unoconv - Unable to install this locally on my machine. So use
of this as a converter is largely untested. But should work
without any glitches.
3. If there are other popular converters that are in use, I would
like to add them to this list.
2. M-x customize-variable RET org-lparse-convert-process RET
- Choose one of the based on your preferences and availability
3. Make C-c C-e O export directly to your preferred output format
(doc?). Use
M-x customize-variable RET org-export-odt-preferred-output-format RET
(But review items 1 and 2 before doing this)
Side-note: You can use M-x org-lparse-convert to convert an odt file to
say pdf or even docbook or a csv file to xls or a odp file to ppt. This
will depend on your converter capabilities. So checkout
M-x customize-variable RET org-lparse-convert-capabilities RET
You can use org-lparse to export to xhtml and post-process it to odt etc
etc without leaving the comforts of your Emacs session (Remember the
pre-odt days?)
