I delayed the response to earlier mail because your request needed some background work. I made an `almost official' release a few weeks ago. May be you like to try it out and give your feedback? > Also, is there an option to control the border options for tables > produced from org-odt? This will be used mainly for alignment issues. Border and alignment are two different things. I am not sure what you mean here. org-odt's implementation of tables is very similar to that of org-htmls. You would get horizontal rulers separating rowgroups and vertical rulers based on colgroup cookies. > In addition, is there a way to set up a header, or some text, before > the title, similar to the attached file (including the image)? I > don't mind if the solution is pasting some raw xml code in the > org-mode file, as this part will remain constant. What is required is that you extract styles.xml and any images files that it referenced from your odt/ott file and instruct org-odt.el to package these files in the resulting directory. You can do these manually. I also have a prototype code (that is not committed yet) that achieves the above functionality. See the attached output file and you could see that the headers are getting repeated on all pages. On customization side of things, I am little bit uncertain what would be the best way to apply custom styles while also having the user feel happy about the document that comes out as a result. (When I apply your styles.xml to override my Org's very own styles file, the resulting output file is not pleasing to the eye (for example, Headings are unstylized) This is because your styles.xml doesn't specify styles for 'Heading 2' while for some strange reason - partly because of it's ancestry org-odt.el - is emitting Headings from level 2 onwards) I am open to hearing what orgers think on this front. I would go very slow on the customization side of things unless some consensus or clariy emerges. > If I can do something like the attached file, I think I can do away > with all my word processing needs in emacs org-mode (except files I > have to collaborate with). Good to know that. It is possible with minimal efforts. >> When I use "O", this buffer also appears in emacs, along with the file >> opening up in OpenOffice. >> >> Again, anyway to suppress this? C-x k :-) I want the test.odt file to be opened in archive-mode because it would help me in gathering debugging information from users. Users also can see what goes within the odt file. This buffer is going to stay atleast till such time as I am confident that it has served it's purpose.. A request from my side. I would appreciate if you CC the emacs-orgmode list. I see two advantages, I can quickly lookup the article (without having to dig through mailboxes) and there could be others who would be interested in participating in these discussions.

If you set the variable as below (setq org-export-odt-styles-file '("~/tmp-orgmode/Thu Thong Bao - Trai Ve Nguon XV (2011).odt" ("styles.xml" "Pictures/10000000000002740000034B83A526F3.png"))) the styles.xml and header images would get copied on to the generated odt file. If the desired styles.xml makes no references to other files (as in the example above) then the above variable could be set to (setq org-export-odt-styles-file "~/tmp-orgmode/Thu Thong Bao - Trai Ve Nguon XV (2011).odt") or (setq org-export-odt-styles-file "~/elisp/styles.xml") In both the case org-odt's native styles file will be replaced by the one that is specified (implicity or explicitly) > > See the attached output file and you could see that the headers are > getting repeated on all pages. > > On customization side of things, I am little bit uncertain what would be > the best way to apply custom styles while also having the user feel > happy about the document that comes out as a result.

Suppose I have styles.xml and ./Pictures/10000000000002740000034B83A526F3.png in the working directory of my org file, both extracted from my original odt file that I did myself. What exactly must I do to get these files packaged into the generated odt file? How do I set org-export-odt-styles-file in my org file?

I have answered your question here. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-03/msg01512.html. If you tell me what aspects are confusing I am willing to clarify. I would appreciate if you could test it out on the org-odt that comes with the contrib/lisp dir of git archive. > > Thanks! > -- Vinh > > -- ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 4+ messages in thread
