Re: ODT export

Hello Vikas,

I don't think you can convert latex bits to org automatically. I was in a
similar situation few days ago.

I had very satisfying results using LaTeX2HTML and libreoffice convert.
(org → latex → html → odt/doc)


Citing the procedure I used to convert.

│ latex2html texfile.tex -split 0 -no_navigation -info "" -address "" -html_version 4.0,unicode

│
│libreoffice --headless --convert-to odt:"OpenDocument Text Flat XML" texfile/index.html
│
│This will produce a index.odt file. Take a look at this answer to check how to
│use LibreOffice's convert filters.
