No support for bibtex 2. I end up using quite a bit of LaTeX-specific stuff for formatting = tables and graphics. All of that gets messed up when I do Org to Odt = export. I agree, a robust org to odt/docx export would be very helpful. Vikas > On 29-Jan-2015, at 6:54 pm, John Kitchin = wrote: >=20 > That could be an option.
