Re: exporting zotxt or orgref links to HTML and ODF

[John Kitchin <johnrkitchin@gmail.com>]

That could be an option. I was mostly looking at feasibility for org to
docx. There is no obvious advantage to go through markdown, I just had
some handy machinery in org-ref to export my cite links to the pandoc
format in that export. I have since figured out a simple way to insert
pandoc citations in org directly, and do an org -> docx in pandoc
directly.

It looks like there are limitations all around. My sense is pandoc is
just a temporary solution until there is (one day) a full org export to docx
solution. I am not that experienced with the ODT export, so i don't know
what the state of citation support in those are.

Luckily that is not something I need often, but a robust org to docx
export would be helpful to many!
