Indeed, that's a better recipe. (On a Mac laptop keyboard, Cmd-T 
instead of F11.)

The scenario was not mixing raw ODT XML in with Org, but using a 
custom link type to color text. The manual page you point to gives all 
the info one would need to figure out how to do it, and I should have 
given the reference. But the manual does not spell out exactly how to 
solve that scenario, so I thought that would be helpful.

That's cool, but how do you suggest to use it? I tried it with 
=:exports results=, but that didn't work (the angle brackets got 
escaped).

But I probably misunderstood, and you meant to use it to generate the 
correct raw XML and then include the result in the text, with =@= 
signs added?

That works out of the box for the "bold" example, but not for 
"red-style" -- I assume we'd have to create that style first?

Thanks, that's helpful.
