ODT export failing

ODT export failing

[Fraga, Eric]

Hello all,

can anybody suggest what may be causing an error of the form:

org-odt-export-to-odt: OpenDocument export failed: FIXME: Unable to resolve [...]

The very long error message gives no actual detail as to what actually
failed to resolve.

I will try with emacs -Q etc. but challenging due to the large number of
customizations I have.

thank you,
eric

PS - I hate having to prepare Word formatted documents. 🙁

Ignore please.  I was trying to export an image which was in PDF; I
thought I had changed to reference to a PNG but missed one.  Mind you,
the error message could be a little more informative?

Sorry for the noise.

AFAIU, that message is for fuzzy and id links that do not point to
heading or target - such links are not supported.
For example, links to #+name'd elements are not supported by ox-odt,
from my reading of the code.

"FIXME" indicates that such feature would be welcome, but alas - not
yet.

I've had this before when the target (i.e. the label within the org
file) did not exist.  I have never seen this with a missing file, as in
pointing to ~theimage~ where

    #+name: theimage
    [[file:thisimagedoesnotexist]]

To solve the problem, I just had to create the file
"thisimagedoesnotexist".  I guess it is sort of the same issue as
missing link target so maybe it makes sense even though it is not an id
link or fuzzy?

Understood!

thank you,

I do not see any error when trying to export the above org file to ODT.

Okay, thank you.  Strange but one of those mysteries, I guess.  If I run
into this again, I'll explore more fully.
