My next struggle with word conversions came much sooner than I thought.

Suggestions are welcome on how to tackle the conversion a  document with
the following characteristics:

~ 16,000 words
class: article
engine: LuaTex
Bib: biblatex + biber
no math
no images
no X-references, branches, etc.
lots of footnotes

In short, your standard Humanities article...

Here is what I tried, with related problems:

1. Lyx's own Xhtml
a - does not know what to do with biblatex, hence all references are just
bib keys and there is no bibliography
b - Reading the resulting xhtml into libreoffice is possible, but all
footnotes are links and must be converted manually (unless there is a
smartere option I am missing)

2. eLyxer
a- as above---no biblatex awareness, but actually worse. Instead of the bib
keys I now have internal references (biblio-1, biblio-2, etc.
b - as above

3. elyxer/word

same problems as standard elyxer

4. pandoc from tex to odt

a - as above: no biblatex awareness. Even worse, neither keys nor other
refs are printed, just white space
b - footnotes are correctly preserved.


Any suggestions on further tests? Biblatex seems obviously to be a big
problem, to say the least

Cheers,

Stefano
