Hi, Jambunathan,
When I try to define a custom link type with special formatting for
ODT export, the exporter behaves as if the backend is html.
I'll exemplify with a tweaked version of org-bbdb-export, since that's
the textbook example of a custom link. I've rewritten it below so that
if the export FORMAT is 'odt, BBDB links should be in bold.
(defun org-bbdb-export (path desc format)
"Create the export version of a BBDB link specified by PATH or DESC.
If exporting to either HTML or LaTeX FORMAT the link will be
italicized, in ODT it's bold, in all other cases it is left unchanged."
(when (string= desc (format "bbdb:%s" path))
(setq desc path))
(cond
((eq format 'html) (format "<i>%s</i>" desc))
((eq format 'latex) (format "\\textit{%s}" desc))
((eq format 'odt) (format "<text:span
text:style-name=\"Bold\">%s</text:span>" desc))
(t desc)))
Now, when I export this:
Here's my own address (bbdb:Moe).
...the ODT document does not contain the expected:
Here's my own address (<text:span
text:style-name=\"Bold\">Moe</text:span>).
...instead, it contains the formatting intended for HTML:
Here's my own address (<i>Moe</i>).
...which, of course, displays as:
Here's my own address ().
Yours,
Christian
