No ODT export option

No ODT export option

Hi,

I'd like to export to ODT or even directly to DOC. But I notice I do not
have an ODT export option. Can someone help me set this up?

I'm running org-20140107/ from ELPA on OS X in the emacs 24.3
(emacsformacosx distribution from http://emacsformacosx.com/). In my ELPA
folder I see:

$ find . | grep -i odt
./org-20140107/etc/styles/OrgOdtContentTemplate.xml
./org-20140107/etc/styles/OrgOdtStyles.xml
./org-20140107/ox-odt.el
./org-20140107/ox-odt.elc

But when I'm in emacs in org-mode and I do "ESC-x apropos org-odt" and
examine org-odt-data-dir the content of that variable
are /usr/share/emacs/etc/org which does not exist.

Any help for ODT (and/or DOC) much appreciated.

FYI I also have LibreOffice installed which is how I will view the ODT
files, and/or do the DOC conversion if I can't get that straight from org.

Thank you,

   Ken Mankoff

Hi Ken,

ODT export isn't enabled by default. You can enable it by putting

(require 'ox-odt)

in your config file and restart emacs.

Best,

Ok I seen the option now but when I try to export I get the following error:

OpenDocument export failed: Symbol's function definition is void:
cl--set-getf

Oh! I tried it from the CLI emacs rather than the GUI one and it worked. I
think I can figure it out from here. Thank you!

I'm having this problem on Debian testing, but not on Debian stable.
I have installed the org-mode package on both systems.

Inserting (require 'ox-odt) at the end of my  !/.emacs file gives me
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading `/home/
hendrik/.emacs':

File error: Cannot open load file, ox-odt

To ensure normal operation, you should investigate and remove the
cause of the error in your initialization file.  Start Emacs with
the `--debug-init' option to view a complete error backtrace.

so it doesn't look as if it worked.

For the record, there is a  /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org-mode/ ox-odt.el 
file.

Also, export to html works, presumably using the ox-html.el file in that 
same directory, and I don't have to say (require 'ox-odt).  I'd preume 
that file is found by the same mechanism, so not finding ox-odt by 
default is a bit of a puzzle.

The Debian testing system, which works, has similar files in teh same 
place, but their names start with org- instead of ox-

  Of course I meant not having to say (require 'ox-html).

That means it is using org-7.x, probably the org that came with whatever
emacs package Debian distributes. If you are installing packages from
Debian repos, that's probably the best that you can expect. If you
(think you) are installing from the orgmode git repo, there is probably
something wrong.

Emacs provides tools to figure out where things are coming from: C-h f
on a function name tells you which file the function came from, e.g.

C-h f org-html-export-as-html RET

,----
| org-html-export-as-html is an interactive Lisp function in
| `ox-html.el'.
| ...
`----

M-x locate-library RET ox-html RET tells you where emacs would load the
ox-html library would be loaded from.

There are more nuances and more tools but these should be enough to start with.

Debian lags quite a bit (from few months to years).  It is difficult to
say what version they are packaging.

The best and easiest way to install latest Org would be to via GNU ELPA
or Org ELPA.  See http://orgmode.org/elpa.html.

    M-x list-packages

Once you insall the package, restart Emacs and do

    M-x customize-variable org-export-backends

and enable ODT.

ps: If you are new to Emacs/Org, you will have less troubles if you
start with an empty .emacs (or more specifically a .emacs that doesn't
have any Org specific configuration.)
