(The caption going as part of table:name or draw:name) as part of fix for http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-12/msg00100.html The fix is not ready yet. I am just feeling lazy after having not looked at the code for almost an year now. NOTE: If someone knows how to accommodate short captions (so that an that an Index/TOC could be generated from within LibreOffice based on it, please let me know.) ---------------------------------------------------------------- For the benefit of audience, if you use embedded images in your document the document produced by the ODT exporter will be openable by LibreOffice < 4.0 but not with LibreOffice > 4.1. (In other words, LibreOffice folks have introduced some backward incompatible changes.) To ensure that the document produced by the exporter is usable resave the document from within LibreOffice. (i.e., make some trivial changes to the ODT document and do a save again). This way the XML produced by the exporter will be re-written by LibreOffice and the problem will be averted. ---------------------------------------------------------------- As a side note, I am discussing with Emacs maintainers whether they would be comfortable about having me maintain the exporter right from within Emacs repo. I am not sure how the discussion will go. http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2013-12/msg00509.html martin.guertler@gmx.de (Martin Gürtler) writes: > Hi, > > I just converted a 150 page document I used to convert to odt with the old > exporter.
