[odt-export] Setting Text Colour for odt export

[odt-export] Setting Text Colour for odt export

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 840 bytes --]

Hi

I am using 

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
\color{red} some red text \color{black} and we continue with black
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

to set the text colour for sections in my document for LaTeX export, but
this does obviously does not org for odt export.

What can I use to achieve the same for odt export?

Thanks

Rainer

You can use a macro.  {{{color(text, red)}}}.  You then specify a macro
that inserts

     @@latex:{\color{red} text}@@@@odt:<text:span text:style-name="red">text</text:span>@@,

Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem like odt provides inline styles, so you may
have to add new styles for each color; see:

    https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Creating-one_002doff-styles.html

Hope it helps,
Rasmus

OK - that looks nice. Where can I read more about the @@...@@ syntax in
org? For conditional backend specific syntax I was only using

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
#+MACRO: clearpage (eval (if (org-export-derived-backend-p org-export-current-backend 'latex) "\\clearpage"        ""               ))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

but the @@...@@ looks clearer to me.

Hm. This sounds problematic, as I have to convert these to docx and send
them finally to the co-authors.

At the moment odt export just inserts "\color{red}" so I'll leave it
for this at the moment.

Thanks,
