headings in odt export

headings in odt export

I'm seeing what seems to be a bug:

If I export a simple document to ODT with the following settings:

#+EXPORT_OPTIONS: H:3 num:t

The headings are given a proper heading style.

However if I export with:

#+EXPORT_OPTIONS: H:3 num:nil

The headings appear in "Default Style" (the body text is in "Text
Body"). In short: setting `org-export-with-section-numbers' to a non-nil
value is necessary to get the headings styled with a heading value --
otherwise they're default style.

The "contents.xml" file in the two different versions differs only like
this:

text:style-name="Heading_20_1_unnumbered"

vs

text:style-name="Heading_20_1"

That seems correct. I've attached a diff between the two different
versions of the "styles.xml" file.

I don't know much about ODT format, and don't know what's going on. I
traced `org-odt-headline', and it appeared to be behaving normally.

I'm using git Org, and the current Libreoffice version (on Arch linux)
is 4.4.5-2.

Any hints appreciated!

Eric

Hi,

My guess is that you are using the wrong style files.  I.e. before they
were updated to included the unnumbered headings.  Try to set the relevant
variables explicitly:

(with-eval-after-load 'ox-odt  
  (let ((schema-dir "/usr/share/emacs/etc/org/schema/")
        (style-dir "/usr/share/emacs/etc/org/styles"))
    (when (file-exists-p schema-dir)
      (setq org-odt-schema-dir-list (list schema-dir)))
    (when (file-exists-p style-dir)
      (setq org-odt-styles-dir style-dir))))

makepkg/the AUR package does not handle this fact very well.

That was it! Thanks a lot. Those vars did point at existing directories
on my system (that appear to contain the right files), but I tried
switching them to point at the /etc directory inside my git checkout of
Org, and now everything works again.

I don't know what happened to mess this behavior up, but Libreoffice has
started acting very strange in general on Arch...

Thanks again,
Eric

I envy how everything Just Works on Fedora.  While I quite enjoy pacman
and makepkg, the level of polish of Fedora is hard to match on Arch.

I have not had problems with LO5 ("libreoffice-fresh"), but I'm a very
occasional user.  The problem you mention is purely an installation
problem.  Check org-loaddefs.el.  It will probably contains references to
/tmp cause that's where makepkg builts it.

Libreoffice has started behaving horribly on both my Arch machines
(quits when I scroll, display can't keep up with modest typing speeds)
but I wonder if it's because I'm not using a desktop environment, and LO
is getting confused. That's a total guess, but

I use git, not makepkg, for both Emacs and Org (Emacs with "make
install", Org in-place), and there's no reference to tmp in
org-loaddefs, so I don't know if that's related. As far as I know,
nothing at all changed on my system apart from these general updates.
I'm still inclined to blame LO!

I don't see how that could be related.

OK.  makepkg screws up org-loaddef because it built in tmp.  And ox-odt is
bad at finding the "right" stylefiles.

You can check the variables I mentioned earlier in the thread.

> I'm still inclined to blame LO!

This is in vain.  Org included the wrong style files.  This problem pops
up frequently.
