odt-Export and #+CAPTION: [reference text]{caption text}

odt-Export and #+CAPTION: [reference text]{caption text}

[Martin Gürtler]

Hi,

does the odt export regard the short version of captions for figures and
tables? Looking at the document structure in libreoffice's navigator,
figures and tables are referenced by strings like "Table4" or, in the
case of graphics, plain numbers. Also, when I include manually (in
libreoffice) a list if figures or tables, the entries are described by
the long version of the caption, regardless of the choice between
'reference text' and 'caption' in the properties of the 'List of figures
(tables)' in libreoffice.


org documentation says

Optionally, the caption can take the form:
  #+CAPTION: [Caption for list of figures]{Caption for table (or link).}

, but this seems to be unsupported in the moment. 

Regards,

Martin

May be you are trying to build an index out of object names... Or pick
and choose objects of interest.  Please upgrade to the following commit
and report back any problems or suggestions.

I have pushed the commit to master branch.  If you are quick enough with
your feedback, I can commit this change to hotfix-7.8.06 branch so that
it can reach Emacs-24.1.

I just pulled from orgmode.org.

It does what I want. Unless there is some formatting in the caption.
Then you get an invalid content.xml, even if you don't use the new
feature (ie with a simple '#+CAPTION: a_i').

minimal example:

#+CAPTION: [*a_i*]{a_i is named =A\_i=}
#+LABEL: tab:referenced table
| a | b | c |
|---+---+---|
| 1 | 2 | 3 |
 
Best regards,

This is a limitation that we need to live with.  

That said, if you want the short captions in bold, then the right thing
to do would be to apply the style to the index entry and not to
individual captions.  Have you experimented with the styles tab in the
Index creator...I haven't checked it myself though.

If you unzip the file you will see that the short caption goes as an
attribute while long caption goes as body text.

LibreOffice doesn't even allow entering space in the object names.  If
you know of any workarounds that will help "mimic" short captions, I can
add it.

(Unfortunately, this seems to be so for super/subscripts as well.)

I just found out that now the exporter depends on supplying a short
caption, if the caption contains formatting (which also means
subscripts). If you just give it one version (ala #+CAPTION: a_i), and
the caption contains ,say, a subscript, content.xml becomes invalid. It
works only, if you supply it in the form #+CAPTION: []{a_i}. (Probably,
you take the long versionalso for the short one, if only one is
supplied.) I think this should be fixed as it could break existing
documents.

Martin

Our mails crossed and we have arrived at the same conclusion.  Give me
few hours to fix it.

I am having second thoughts.  I will slightly re-work the patch so it
doesn't bomb the ODT file in unexpected ways.  I will drop a note once I
am done with it.

Short captions if not provided will take their values from long caption.
See the commit message for more information.

I am not checking in this change to hotfix-7.8.06 branch.  If it bombs
again and someone else complains, I will revoke the fix.

If you need index entries to be in bold, fix the paragraph style.

Btw, I wonder why LibreOffice UI doesn't allow space (apart from other
characters) in the object names. The OpenDocument v1.1 explicitly has
the following example and as you can see the table name has spaces.
Anyways, looks like LibreOffice behaviour is buggy.

Thanks for the diligent action taken Jambunathan.

odt-export: localisation of table and figure captions and references to chapter numbers

I am just using both, localisation and the numbering. No problems so
far.

What might be confusing is the different syntax/appearance of references
in the org file. Figures and tables in my documents look
\ref{fig:some_figure}, while references to sections appear as
id:12adea34-13124123-12341234. Or can headlines also carry #+LABEL:s?

Martin
