I know this is an awfully tired topic, and I'll be thrilled when the odt
exporter is ready, but in the meantime exporting to HTML and then either
opening or copying/pasting into OpenOffice is not working for me, while
it does seem to be working for other people.
I'm on Ubuntu, Emacs 23.3 and yesterday's org-mode. I export to html
just fine. Then I figure I have two options: open the html directly with
OpenOffice, or copy and paste the text. Opening the html directly just
shows me an unrendered html document. Copying and pasting into
OpenOffice turns all the italics into funny little grey boxes (one on
either side of the meant-to-be-italics text), and no actual italics.
I'm translating fiction, I don't need squat in the way of formatting
besides the paragraphs getting unfilled, and italics and bold coming
through properly. Has anyone seen this happen before, and have a
potential solution?
Thanks!
Eric

Did you try to suppress the xml declaration in the exported html?
#+OPTIONS: org-export-html-xml-declaration (quote (("php" . "<?php echo \"<?xml version=\\\"1.1\\\" encoding=\\\"%s\\\" ?>\"; ?>")))
At least MS-Word and Chromium don't seem to like that xml version line
and refuse to render the document.
Hth,
Holger

Maybe that works for a publishing setup? It doesn't for ordinary export.
This does work:
#+BIND: org-export-html-xml-declaration ()

That did the trick! Thank you.
One small follow-up question: this produces iso-8859-1 encoded text by
default; how do I go about asking for utf-8?
And I'll check out both pandoc and latex2rtf for more complicated
exports, thanks to all!

With the same setup I still get utf-8. Though the XML declaration is
lost, it's still there in the line:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8"/>
What values do you have for the following?
org-export-html-coding-system
buffer-file-coding-system
current-language-environment
Yours,
Christian

Aha! It's that first one I was looking for (I must not be using apropos
correctly). I had:
org-export-html-coding-system > nil
buffer-file-coding-system > utf-8-with-signature-unix
current-language-environment > "UTF-8"
Setting org-export-html-coding-system to 'utf-8 resulted in a correct
coding system in the html export, but from the docs you'd think it would
have picked that up from buffer-file-coding-system to begin with…
Thanks,
Eric

Mine does pick it up. I have
org-export-html-coding-system > nil
buffer-file-coding-system > utf-8-unix
and get correct utf-8 html output in Org 7.4, GNU Emacs 23.2.1 on a Mac.
I don't have any further clues why it doesn't work for you.
Yours,
Christian

Eric,
I think you will be better off using a tool such as `latex2rtf'
(available as a package here in Debian Sid, maybe in Ubuntu too?) to
convert your LaTeX exporting output into a format OpenOffice can
understand. Unlike taking your chances with the copy/paste behavior of
apps that aren't Emacs (egads!), latex2rtf will try to preserve the
formatting in a fairly consistent (if far from perfect) way.
Best,

Eric, for your needs, you may find that Pandoc (which now supports Org files) is
a simpler solution that works now.
