Btw, given that the car of a capture template is supposed to be a one-

Hi,
Org-export-to-file with the odt backend gives an error when invoked
directly (void-variable hfy-user-sheet-assoc). Tested on Org 9.7.28. To
reproduce, save a minimal Org file and, from that buffer, evaluate
: (org-export-to-file 'odt "testfile.odt")
I'm not sure if this is *expected* to work
that export to working HTML links, and instead use absolute paths to
where those files will end up.
Personally I wouldn't think it worth the effort just to avoid the slight
cognitive burden of maintaining index.org files in separate language
directories, but that's just my two cents.
