org-odt: turning off section numbering does not work

org-odt: turning off section numbering does not work

[Mehul Sanghvi]

I have the following in my org file:


#+OPTIONS: toc:nil H:10 num:nil



Yet in my ODT file I get numbered sections:

    1. Work Experience

     1.1.1   Company A

     1.1.2   Company B

   2.  Skills

   3.  Education


Am I doing something wrong ?  Or is there another option that I am not
aware of ?

Hi,

According to this thread, num:nil should work in recent versions of Org:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/46058

It works for me.

You might try updating to the most recent version of Org and see if 
that fixes things.

As a one-off fix, in OpenOffice you can turn off the numbering with 
Tools > Outline Numbering. For each of the three heading levels that 
are numbered, you need to set Number to None, and delete the dot in 
Separator After.

Yours,
Christian

I have seen that thread before, and am using the latest Org from the
git repository.
That is why I was wondering if I'd missed something or not.

I just tried this with a new Emacs, and the test.org file that comes
with org-odt.

I changed test.org so that num: is nil and it still had section
numbering enabled.

Since I am trying to do this as an automated method, I do not want to
fire up LibreOffice/OpenOffice each time
I make a change to my resume, and lots of times I am doing it over a
ssh connection with no X displaying
back.

cheers,

What I have is Org-mode version 7.5 (baseline.533.ga5129.dirty), so it seems
your factually-baseless guess is correct.


% git remote -v
origin	http://repo.or.cz/r/org-mode/org-jambu.git (fetch)
origin	http://repo.or.cz/r/org-mode/org-jambu.git (push)


I have been pulling from the wrong repository.

That probably explains it, then.

But, uh, can I borrow this thread for a moment?

I find custom styles in ODT export aren't working as per the manual, 
section 12.8.2. Here's what I've done (test files attached; Emacs 
23.3.1; Org 7.7, freshly pulled):

1. Exported test-odt.org to ODT with default settings.
2. In OpenOffice: Changed the Heading 1 style in the exported ODT 
document to red, then saved it as styles.odt.
3. Pointed org-export-odt-styles-file to styles.odt.
4. Exported test-odt.org to test-odt.odt. Result: no headings at all 
-- everything's in the Default style.

This is how I understand the manual, and the thread I referenced 
before, and I remember having tested it before at some point when it 
worked perfectly, so I'm rubbing my eyes and wondering if it's just 
me. Could I ask someone to please check?

Yours,
Christian

When you are generating such a custom styles file for templating
purposes, it is highly desirable that H:10 num:t be option used. This is
because the Org's odt exporter expects that the default styles file has
outline numbering turned on for all levels (Number 10 above being the
max outline levels in styles.xml)

If this assumption is violated - ie if the template file is generated
with num:nil (which is the case with the styles file circulated by you)
- then subsequently changing the

#+OPTIONS: num:t

will continue to produce the unnumbered headings contrary to the
expectations.

I believe the above restriction is not overly restrictive.

I have pushed a fix for this moment ago. Hope things are OK with your
setup.

No, that makes good sense, and thanks for pointing it out. I can well 
understand that you don't want to handle "num:t isn't working" 
complaints caused by other people's stylesheets.

Yes, whatever the problem was, it's gone now. Thanks!

This git repo shouldn't be used at all.

For the sake of convenience, the ELPA tarball under 
http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/org-jambu.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/packages/

is still current.

So the above URL can continue to be used for getting the latest org-odt
through the package manager (as of today)
