Pandoc does work well, but I notice you didn't say tables. Does it do that for you well? For me, they are unreadable, with each column a full page width, and the table therefore far too wide.

I think I run into a another common problem though where my Org text has words like "\(x\) = 42 kg m\(^{-3}\)". I think this is correct LaTeX syntax?

Anyway, in pandoc "x" is properly exported as a math symbol, but it doesn't look very good and has a box around it. The m^-3 is not exported properly. I see a "m", and then an empty math box, and then the superscript "-3".

If I do Org -> ODT, the "x" is not technically correct, but looks better. It is just italicized. The exponent is properly written next to them without an empty math box between the two.

If someone has a different suggestion for how to write this in Org for pandoc->DOCX, I'd be grateful, because references and figures are handled better by pandoc than Org -> ODT.
