Hi,
First of all; I want to thank you for this great addon to org-mode. Being able
to export directly to OpenOffice documents is good for sharing my document with
friends.
I just want to add one point that I did not find in the org-manual. I tested
some of my org-files and exported them to the OpenOffice format. When I tried to
open these documents in OpenOffice, they were corrupt and could not be opened.
I soon found out why. If you want to export an org-mode file to .odt, you need
to explicitly set the file encoding to UTF-8 (I usually use iso-8859-1 encoding
for my files), like:
#-*- mode: org; coding: utf-8; -*-
After that OpenOffice could open the files without any problems.
Thanx again, and I will follow your explanation below, to create my own
styles.xml
Ciao,
Renzo
