The Authoritative fork of Org mode's ODT exporter

This is a fork of Org's ODT backend and adds many useful improvements to that backend. This fork is authoritative because it is maintained by the original author of that backend.

Blog-style artciles

If you want a blog-style, informal introduction to some of the features of this exporter, you may want to look at the following articles:

• Create a stylesheet for your OpenDocument files, and inline the XML definitions right in your Org file–Think HTML_HEAD, or HTML_HEAD_EXTRA but for ODT / DOCX files
• Create tables with paragraph-like content in Org mode, with the least amount of hassle
• Use Starmath—NOT LaTeX, NOT MathML—when exporting Org mode files to LibreOffice
• Mix Starmath and LaTeX / Mix English and Tamil in same Org file (or) How to conditionally export text using Macros and Drawers in Org mode
