Dear All,

is there a way to modify the vertical spacing between lines in a list
when exporting to ODT?
For PDF-export
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{enumitem} together with
#+LATEX_HEADER: \setlist{noitemsep} or
#+ATTR_LATEX: :options [noitemsep]
work, but I did not find any hint regarding ODT-export.

best regards,

Heinz

No -- but you can modify this from within LibreOffice.

Dear Bastien,

thank you for your answer. It helps to know that it's not possible in a
standard way.
Modifying it from within LibreOffice would mean to change every list by
hand.
For now I solve the problem by putting each list in a #+begin_verse ...
#+end_verse block. This is not ideal, but at least it can be done within
the org-file.

best regards,

Heinz

You can also create a dedicated ODT style and use it from within your
Org file -- see "Applying custom styles: the easy way" in the manual:

https://orgmode.org/manual/Applying-custom-styles.html

 To apply an ODT style to a particular file, use the
 ‘ODT_STYLES_FILE’ keyword as shown in the example below:

      #+ODT_STYLES_FILE: "/path/to/example.ott"

 or

      #+ODT_STYLES_FILE: ("/path/to/file.ott" ("styles.xml" "image/hdr.png"))

HTH,

Dear Bastien,

thank you - I know that. The problem seems to be that in the odt-file
all lists, as well as all "normal" text share the same format. In my
German version of LibreOffice it is called "Textkörper".
So, if I modify that format in a ODT_STYLES_FILE it changes all the
"normal" text, not only the lists.
If I were able to assign a different format to lists, then your proposal
would be the optimal solution. Until now I did not find out, how to
assign such a different format to lists.

Why do I use lists at all? It is, because they offer a hierarchical way
of description, but, contrary to headings and subheadings, after the end
of a list, you jump to the same level as before the list. Instead with
headings and subheadings I think, I can go back to the level at the
beginning only by inserting a new (sub)heading of the desired level.
Maybe I am missing some alternative.

best regards,

Heinz

Perhaps you can send a feature request to the LibreOffice team?

Perhaps try M-RET in a heading or explore `org-adapt-indentation' (I'm
not sure I completely grok your need, hence the suggestions.)

Dear Bastien,

thank you for you for patience. It is a minor issue, still I try to
explain by an example (see below).
If the example below is exported to LibreOffice I am happy with all the
format, except the vertical spacing between list elements, which results
from the vertical space after each paragraph in the "Textkörper" format.
I could change this format, but that would affect all paragraphs, not
only the lists.

BTW, there is a convenient solution for Latex-export
(https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/47864/org-mode-set-separation-length-between-elements-of-a-list).

best regards,

Heinz

   The motivation for this research resulted mainly from the following
clinical questions.
   - Is there a need for intense therapy?
     - cytostatic
     - transplantation
   - If yes, when should the therapy start?
     - immediately after diagnosis
     - at first signs of progression
     - after relapse

   Some of these questions were partially answered by Genius et al.,

    All data collection was done between 2010 and 2018. Informed consent
was obtained by each patient.

    The following inclusion and exclusion criteria were applied.
    - inclusion criteria
      - age > 16
      - stable disease for >= 2 months
      - etc.
    - exclusion criteria
      - other malignant disease

    All inclusion criteria had to be fulfilled. No exclusion criterion

    A data review was performed by two coauthors (AB, TC).
** methods
    The following measures were used to describe relations:
    - for numeric data: Pearson correlation
    - for ordered data: Kendall's tau
    - for unordered data
      - dichotomous: odds ratio
      - polytomous: contingency coefficient
    As level of significance .05 was set. Hypotheses were defined
two-sided. In view of the exploratory nature of the study no adjustment
for multiple testing was applied.
