Stuart has put the changes in a2x in mercurial. I *think* but don't
guarantee that I tested the a2x backend to work with it. If it
doesn't shout and I'll try and help, but I don't have much time at the
moment.
I've just tried:
$ a2x -b odt doc/article.txt
a2x: ERROR: No base document found
Looking at your a2x-backend.py source I see that you need to pass a
--base_doc option sepecifying an odt file with the desired styles and also
saw a comment 'TODO default base doc?' in the source. Would be nice to just
go 'a2x -b odt some_document.txt' to generate an .odt file.
Agree, thats why the comment is there.
What we need is a document that gets installed to use as the default.
If Dag can make one with *all* the asciidoc_odf styles in it (but no
content that he would mind having installed on all asciidocs) and save
it from libreoffice as a normal packaged odt file then that should do.
Then the default needs to point to where it will get installed, I
guess the backend dir. a2x has that somewhere since it found this
backend :)
The problem I experienced was that it could not find to_odt, using the
upstream asciidoc/a2x, so I had to put our a2x in place :-/ Maybe I did
something wrong. I will investigate.
Wrt. the packaged 'ott' file. I'll see if I can have the Makefile generate
a packaged example file with the default stylesheet included. It shouldn't
be hard to cobble something together with pax using stub files and our
default stylesheet.
PS I added two new features to the Github issue tracker to include
libreoffice in a2x to allow conversions from odt to pdf or doc, and to
support ODP files in a2x. See:
https://github.com/dagwieers/asciidoc-odf/issues/24
https://github.com/dagwieers/asciidoc-odf/issues/25
Both are probably not that important at the moment.
