Not a pretty workflow. your answer seems very helpful. not sure what you mean in this par though. just to clarify: are you referring to exporting to word from org-mode? - odt [is that word format?] - org -> markdown -> pandoc [presumably word] - org -> latex -> ht4tex [=3D word?] i was wondering, too, what format would be good to export to for a nontechnical reader, from org, and can preserve org's external hyperlinks and numbered outline structure. to the original poster: org can also insert literal target format code. for example, you can put literal html code into your export as needed. dunno if that fits your needs. --=20 The Kafka Pandemic: The disease DOES progress.
