Whilst that would work, it's inherently a 2-step process, versus 1 for
the html route, plus it requires installing yet-another-application. In
any case, the example file for the odt-converter has corrected my
misunderstanding: *bold* works even for multiple words (although it
appears the various style markers don't nest: */bold-italic/* give me
the same as *bold*).
