I was mostly looking at feasibility for org to docx. There is no obvious advantage to go through markdown, I just had some handy machinery in org-ref to export my cite links to the pandoc format in that export. I have since figured out a simple way to insert pandoc citations in org directly, and do an org -> docx in pandoc directly. It looks like there are limitations all around. My sense is pandoc is just a temporary solution until there is (one day) a full org export to docx solution. I am not that experienced with the ODT export, so i don't know what the state of citation support in those are. Luckily that is not something I need often, but a robust org to docx export would be helpful to many! Vikas Rawal writes: >> >> The conversion is not perfect, but it gets pretty far.

But there are other limitations of Pandoc (for example, lack of support for various LaTeX environments for making tables). > > Vikas -- Professor John Kitchin Doherty Hall A207F Department of Chemical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-7803 @johnkitchin http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu
