lanscape documents (default) with toc seems to fail

[ouboub]

Hi I thought it might be better to open a new issue. Please feel free to close it, if you don't agree. I just took your example and tried to add a toc, by changing the line

#+options: timestamp:t title:nil toc:nil todo:t |:t

to

#+options: timestamp:t title:nil toc:t todo:t |:t

but then the exporter failed. I attach a zip file that includes both org files and the file bug.txt landscape-default.zip

[kjambunathan]

Move TOC manually after the first landscape page.

See line 41 https://github.com/kjambunathan/org-mode-ox-odt/blame/master/testing/examples/odt/pagebreak.org.

The above file can be used to create a book with TitlePage, Copyright Page, etc. Do an M-s o for :page-style in that file for how the pages shift. In LibreOffice, the mode line will tell you page style in use.

thanks, but I seem to be unable to follow your instructions I tried to place the magic

#+toc: headlines 1
* Toc 
:PROPERTIES:
:ATTR_ODT: :page-style "OrgFirstPage" :page-number 1
:END:

in various places of the file, without any result. I thought it should be easy but it is not I attach some of my experiments. sorry, really sorry landscape-default.zip

[kjambunathan]

These questions will help you get a mental model of what is happening ....

1. What is the leading content in my document?
2. What style--paragraph or otherwise--does that leading content use?
3. What is the page style that is associated with that style? Can I change it to what I want which is Landscape or whatever.

landscape-default.zip

Start with the *.diff file in that zip.

[ouboub]

That zip does not contain any diff file, it seems to be the same zip I sent, or do I misunderstand your proposal?

[QiangF]

@ouboub I can export your files without any error. I think what kjambunathan is suggesting is:

1. some styles has page-style set by "master-page-name"
2. some page style has setting for the following page with "next-style-name"

So if you want a page to be landscape, first you need to look at the "master-page-name" for the entity on that page, or you might to check the previous page entity that has a page style with a "next-style-name".

I attached the wrong file.

Next time we are exchanging zip files, we should add what version we are talking about. Look at this one

landscape-default-20220720.zip

I suggest you

• unzip the .odt file (just press RET when on dired), and
• • examine the .xml content, and track the various styles in content.xml and styles.xml,
• • open LibreOffice stylist and see various page styles etc., and what page style appears in modeline

[QiangF]

Maybe add toc page-style support, page-style is a property of any text:

#+toc: headlines 1 :page-style "Landscape"

It's not so user friendly if all these entity needs special care. The odt exporter has a lot of features, we might need more coherency, and put less distracting code inside the document, instead add more help functions or more keywords to generate things such as extra ad-hoc styles.

My preferred way of insert toc is:

#+attr_odt: :transclude t :page-break t
[[file:./toc.odt]]

Toc has many format options, it is far easier to transclude another file designed in libreoffice gui. toc.odt

I think we also need good looking default, the above toc file is better to be the default in my opinion.

[QiangF]

It's seems the :page-break setting is not in effect:

#+attr_odt: :transclude t :page-break t
[[file:./toc.odt]]

#+attr_odt: :transclude t :page-break "before"
[[file:./toc.odt]]

#+attr_odt: :transclude t :page-break "after"
[[file:./toc.odt]]

I second that. I have to admit that I still had not the time to investigate in more detail what is wrong with my file (that is of course entirely my fault) and therefore would appreciate and enhancement in convenience.

#+attr_odt: :transclude t :page-break t
[[file:./toc.odt]]

#+attr_odt: :transclude t :page-break "before"
[[file:./toc.odt]]

#+attr_odt: :transclude t :page-break "after"
[[file:./toc.odt]]

I have noted this, I will add this.

This is how your produce Landscape documents.

Snippet below has settings for producing the following types of documents

• A4 (Landscape)
• A5 (Portrait)
• A non-standard 10cm x 10cm document
• US (Portrait)

Remember to execute the corresponding elisp snippet before exporting.

* A4 Landscape

                                 :footer-template t))
(setq org-odt-extra-automatic-styles nil)
#+end_src

Thanks very much, I presume I have to pull first?

Commit 25349:bb36992b8909c7fd3ccf4a4798eccd2505b5bb6b Now produce Landscape and other documents with ease

Seems the important one.

• A4 (Landscape)
• A5 (Portrait)
• A non-standard 10cm x 10cm document
• US (Portrait)

I will try out and report back, thanks again
