how to export checkboxes to odt?

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

Any idea how to export checkboxes to odt?

I mean not just simply having [ ] in the odt document but having them translated as actual boxes.

Thanks and regards

Either using latex $\boxtimes$
or   UTF8 ☒

I’m wondering, would this be worth adding to ox-odt?

All the best,

I think Juan's solution would be nice, however it does not work for me write now, so I have to see what is wrong with it.

LibreOffice has some object called "checkbox" that could be inserted 
using "Form Controls" toolbar. I have never used this feature, so unsure 
whether it is a proper representation for Org checkboxes.

[checkbox in tables] (was: [SOLVED])

I should add, that I need to generate an odt document, in which checkboxes are placed in tables, a feature that is not supported by org mode as of today, unfortunately.

You can try:

(defun my/org-odt--checkbox (item)
  "Return check-box string associated to ITEM."
  (let ((checkbox (org-element-property :checkbox item)))
    (if (not checkbox) ""
      (format "<text:span text:style-name=\"%s\">%s</text:span>"
	      "OrgCode" (cl-case checkbox
			  (on "\u2611 ") ; CHECK MARK
			  (off "\u2610 ")
			  (trans "[-] ")))))) ;; I don't know which character to choose here...

(advice-add 'org-odt--checkbox :override  #'my/org-odt--checkbox)

Best regards,

Juan Manuel

Thanks very much, I saw it too late to respond yesterday. A couple of remarks

    1. (on "\u2611 ") ; CHECK MARK: I rather prefer 2612 but this is a
       question of taste

    2. It seems not to work, I loaded the function and Executed the
       advice, but 

When I tried to export this minimal example

* Check the conversion of checkboxes


    1. Latex $\boxtimes$

    2. UTF8 ☒,   ▢ □

    3. Org   [ ] and   [X]

    4. Org [] [-]

I obtained a odt file in which 3 and 4 were *not* converted to UTF8. I
attach the file. What do I miss?

Regards

Uwe

I just want to clarify, that your code works.
I realized that I used the word checkbox not a the strict org mode sense.
Sorry for the confusion!

Thanks for your code
