I think you need to satisfy yourself with something that works no.  Finding a 
developer who understands this part of ODF and the ODM implementation and who 
also has time to contribute to it for Apache OpenOffice seems pretty chancy.   
I presume you can check with the AOO PMC about what the priority efforts are.



I notice that the ODF specifications, some  of which are hefty, are produced in 
ODT alone and from there to PDT and HTML.  (The 4-part ODF 1.3 specifications 
were produced using LibreOffice 6.4.5.2 but still not ODM 😊.)  They handle 
cross-referencing among the different parts by linking to and among the HTML 
versions on the OASIS Open web site.



That ambitious use of ODF is probably useful guidance.  I haven't looked at the 
documentation effort of LibreOffice for some time.  Jean Weber can speak to how 
that production is organized.

It is not so much that I have given up on ODM's, but that I am frustrated that 
they are not working properly.



They should be the easiest way to compile multi-chapter books, yet with bugs 
like this they are useless. I found an open bug that addresses the problem and 
submitted a tripped down version of the Getting Started guide and will also up 
the priority on it to hopefully get it fixed.
