Dear all,
as the subject says. Please all test this heavily and report
any problems. This will be part of Org 7.8 and soon in Emacs.
Thanks a lot to Jambunathan for all this efforts, let's make
sure everything is smooth before the release!
Best,

Great. I'm wondering what sort of progress has been made on the ODT importer.
For example, is it able to convert an Org export to ODT back to Org format with
result being same as the original Org file that was exported? If something is
lost, what is lost?

A big thank you to Jambu for his amazing efforts and of course to you

Agreed. An excellent job on the org-odt functionality. Although I still prefer
using LaTeX to write my resume in, I have switched to using org-odt for writting
normal, basic documents. I do have my resume in org format now as well, just
have to work out some issues regarding headers, etc. which Jambunathan has
been very helpful with.
Little by little org-mode will take over my life.
cheers,

I don't think so.
This is a more general problem: converting .odt (or even HTML, .tex,
etc.) back to org-mode would indeed be wonderful.
The most promising road I see for that would be to let pandoc *read*
Org files: http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/
Any haskell hacker around?

There is ODT2ORG
(https://bitbucket.org/josemaria.alkala/odt2org/wiki/Home)
which lets you import odt files in org-mode.
It works quite well and may need
just some minor polishing.

There is also mso2ooo, which is, like odt2org, a python script.
Maybe someone who knows elisp can create an emacs-frontend for running
one or both scipts.
This could result in a neat and elegant way to import odt and doc-files into org.

Thanks, I think that's what I was thinking of.
For some reason I was assuming that the odt importer would have been written by
Jambunathan as a companion piece to his exporter.

That would be Jambu, for developing the whole thing, and Bastien, for
integrating it. (I have only done a bit of testing and cheerleading.)

Cheerleading is key here :)
Anyone volunteer for designing a (spread)shirt

Hi,
Either something's gone wrong with my setup, or there are a number of
issues to straighten out after org-odt moved to core.
Here's what I have so far (with Org 7.7 pulled this morning, Emacs
23.3.1, on a Mac). Issues 1 and 3 look urgent.
1. The org-export-odt-styles-file variable
still points to
"~/src/base/org-mode/contrib/odt/styles.xml"
as the default style template. The defcustom comes with a FIXME note,
and that has become urgent, as the lack of a default styles file in
the default place would cause Org-odt export to fail out of the box
for most users. I'm not sure where this should point, but I assume it
should not point to anything in contrib any longer.
2. The #+ODT_STYLES_FILE directive
does not seem to work. It's ignored and the value of
org-export-odt-styles-file is used instead.
3. Current backend not set to 'odt?
During ODT export, org-export-format-source-code-or-example
fails while trying to load a file called "org-nil". So apparently
org-export-current-backend fails to be passed the value 'odt on ODT
export.
The latter problem could also explain why, trying to export a file
with verse environments, I got LaTeX mixed in with the ODT XML...
Yours,
Christian

The default style files have been moved from contrib/odt/styles to
etc/styles.
Make sure that you are loading the right version of org-odt with M-x
locate-library.
Also the following variables:
C-h v org-odt-lib-dir => "~/src/org-mode/lisp/"
C-h v org-odt-styles-dir => "~/src/org-mode/etc/styles/"
The first variable says wherefrom org-odt is loaded.
The second variable -- which was newly introduced a 2-3 days ago --
should tell where the default style files come from.
If you are unable to find the second variable, then it most postively
suggests that it is the old org-odt that is loaded.

May be related to (1).
Is everything OK when there is *no* ODT_STYLES_FILE and
org-export-odt-styles-file is *reset* to nil?

I hope org-odt loads fine...
Does M-x load-library RET org-odt RET report any errors?

Hi,
Thanks, the problem was indeed with setup and not with org-odt as
such, so I'm really sorry about the noise. But I'm wondering if
something needs to be done about the Makefile to make sure etc/styles
installs.
Background: I'm in the habit of compiling and installing Org each time
I pull, and as I'm on a Mac, that means changing a couple of
installation paths in the Makefile so as to install into Emacs.app.
All this probably puts me in a small minority of users.
The lisp files got installed all right, including the up-to-date
org-odt.el and org-odt.elc.
And yes, I did for some reason have an older org-odt.el in my loadpath
that was interfering. Very embarrassing. But after I got rid of that,
I was definitely running the new org-odt.
However, things still did not work, and the reason seems to be that
the etc/styles directory did not get installed into the appropriate
etc directory in Emacs.app. Because the directory was missing,
org-odt-styles-dir never got set; it kept throwing an error that it
couldn't find the factory styles.
I copied the etc/styles dir manually over into Emacs.app, and now
everything seems to work.
Could it be that, because there hasn't been anything to install from
the etc directory before, the Org-mode Makefile doesn't take care of
it? The only reference to "etc/" I've found in the Makefile is in
connection with ELPA, which I don't use.
Yours,
Christian

I know I'm coming in late to this but thanks to Jambunathan for
this very useful exporter. Seems to work very well.
I do have two questions. My use case is very simple: I sometimes need
to give documents that others insist be in MS Word format. Exporting to
ODT is an excellent route to achieve this aim. Other than that, I don't
plan to use this much as I prefer exporting to latex + pdf... In any
case, my questions are simple:
1. How do I tell the exporter to include the AUTHOR and DATE fields in
the exported output?
2. I see where the default styles are and I am happy with these
generally. However, as a libreoffice n00b, how do I create my own
style file that would be appropriate for the ODT exporter? It's not
so much about the creating of style files (although help in that
regard would not be sniffed at ;-) but about whether there is a list
of paragraph styles that can be customised somewhere?
Thanks,
eric

The easiest way is now described in the manual: write your document in
Org, including all the sorts of stuff you might want to have styles
for, then export it to ODT, open it in LibreOffice, and tweak the
styles you find there. Because you exported it from Org, you can be
sure that the styles have the names the exporter uses. You can
customize any style, no limits.
LibreOffice's Styles and Formatting window is your friend (accessible
from the Format menu or from an icon usually at the far left of the
toolbar). It has tabbed lists of Paragraph, Character, Page, Frame and
List styles. Right-click on a style to modify it.
When your LibreOffice document looks like you want it to, simply save
it somewhere smart. The next time you export from Org, point
org-export-odt-styles-file to that file as your style template.
hth,
Christian

Okay, that makes perfect sense.

Straightforward.
Of course, getting libreoffice to do what I want is another story... ;-)
I imagine I'll have to use a mouse :-(
Give me latex any day!
Thanks again,

Well, you can always author your own styles file in plain XML
conforming to the ODF specification. No mouse required!...

... or write an elisp function to snag the XML style file from wherever
libreoffice squirrels it into emacs, where you can edit it - testing might
be a bit more painful though...

Ahh, two challenges; just what I need for the xmas break... ;-)
If I get really really bored, maybe an org -> xml exporter with
pre-defined templates for ODT styles... No, I don't think I'll get that
bored!

Just wanted to say the latest version is working perfectly for me -- well
done! ODT export is fine and LaTeX is still working too (some things have
changed recently that made me have to change some of my code *around*
org-mode, but that's as expected.)

I installed Org 7.8.02 by downloading the tarball, untarring it, running
make, then make install install-info. When I run org-export-as-odt by
C-c C-e o, I get this message:
Cannot find factory styles file. Check package dir layout
Setting debug-on-error, I get this traceback.
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (error "Cannot find factory styles file. Check package dir layout")

I was mistaken in saying it has been "fixed". Its actually a setup
problem reported originally by Christian. Take a look at the following
thread.
<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/49846/focus=50001>
In case you still think its a bug causing the issue in your case, it
would be help if you could post an ECM (minimal complete example in
French) which replicates the problem.

That solved the problem. I was loading an old version.
This makes me feel stupid enough to go back to MS Word. Well, maybe not

There is an implicit association between OpenDocument formats and MS
Word. I see no reason why this association should continue to linger
amidst masses even to this day where governments are actually clamouring
for open standards.
OpenDocument format has really nothing to do with MS Word.

If you had copied "etc/styles" dir by hand to the installation dir I
would consider that a bug.
This copying should happen auto-magically.
I hope things work auto-magically now without any manual intervention.

A small side-note.
While styles file have moved to root/etc/styles the schema files are
still in contrib. One can customize org-export-odt-schema-dir if one
sees that auto-validation of xml files doesn't happen anymore.
(schema files are in contrib because it will not be checked-into Emacs
proper.)

Not for me. Could be specific to make install into Emacs.app on Mac (I
know squat about this, except that we have to edit our Makefile to get
lisp and docs installed in the right place, and maybe we have to do
something special for the etc dir too?). Could someone confirm that
etc/styles is automatically installed on Linux / that it isn't on Mac?
Yours,
Christian

Everything is perfect. And I am very, very impressed with the odt
export.
My publishers require me to submit stuff in .doc format even though
they don't use it for publishing. This will be a fantastic boon for me
to deal with these people. Thanks so much Jambunathan.
OT: I am the author of a 600+ page textbook which I have written in
LaTeX and maintain through a version control system. They require
submission in Word, then I deal with an editor, then the publisher uses
a specialised version of docbook to publish. It is absolutely
infuriating!!

Christian,
I am embarrassed to admit this in public, but my problem was that I
had:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org-mode")
instead of:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/org-mode/lisp")
in my init.el.
I hope that your solution is as simple.

I don't install after compiling org, but I checked with this:
$ make -n install | grep etc
So I guess that is the problem. The Makefile has no rule to install
etc files, so if you use 'make install' odt export fails.
Also a quick look at the Makefile seems to confirm this (at least in
my limited Makefile understanding)
...
install: install-lisp
...
install-lisp: $(LISPFILES) $(ELCFILES)
if [ ! -d $(lispdir) ]; then $(MKDIR) $(lispdir); else true; fi ;
$(CP) $(LISPFILES) $(lispdir)
$(CP) $(ELCFILES) $(lispdir)
...

No, I don't think that thread has anything to do with my problem. I had
not previously used the ODT exporter in any way. When I run "make
install" I really expect all the necessary files to be installed in the
default location where the code expects to find them if I do no
customization.
I have not tried installing from the head, as I usually prefer to update
only at release boundaries, so I can't say yet whether this problem is
fixed by the latest changes. I was frankly quite surprised that "make
install" didn't install the necessary pieces in 7.8.02.

I haven't had time to check. I worked around the problem for now by
installing the style files by hand.

I tried again with a clean /usr/local/share/emacs/site-lisp. I ran
"make all" and "make install install-info", and then tried to export a
file to ODT. No change, same problem.
I believe the problem is that the install target in the Makefile doesn't
copy the style files to $(prefix)/share/emacs/etc/styles or
$(prefix)/share/emacs/site-lisp/etc/styles as the code expects.

I modified the Makefile to do what I expected. With this change, "make
install" copies the style files to $(prefix)/share/emacs/etc/styles, and
ODT export now works as expected.

That should better be $(lispdir)/etc or $(lispdir)/../etc — at least
those two are the only places that org-odt.el currently searches.

Indeed! and http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=YMMV
;-)
seriously, this is one of the best things about org mode: I can write in
org and, for the most part, not worry about how I will actually
disseminate the document (odt, html, pdf, ascii, ...) while creating the
content.
and, even more seriously, thank you for your contribution to this whole
process! I may not use ODT exporting very often but when I do, it will
be greatly appreciated.

It's okay. Others in this thread have given me plenty suggestions on
