The openDocument standard says in 7.4.1 Use Caption Each object contained in a text document has a name. In addition, images also have a caption.

[O] new odt-exporter: problems with formatting in captions
Hi,
I just converted a 150 page document I used to convert to odt with the old
exporter. Following problems occurred:
1. table with #+CAPTION
If the caption contains formatting (~, ==, _, ^), the exporter
produces an invalid content.xml.
minimal example:
---8
#+OPTIONS: num:t toc:nil \n:nil @:t ::t |:t ^:{} -:t f:t *:t :nil
* First paragraph
#+CAPTION: A_{1}^{2}
| head 1| head2|
|---+--|
| content 1 | content2 |
---8
The problem can be seen in the following xml fragment:
---8
table:table table:style-name=OrgTable
table:name=Alt;text:span
text:style-name=OrgSubscriptgt;1lt;/text:spangt;lt;text:span
text:style-name=OrgSuperscriptgt;2lt;/text:spangt;
---8
The table:name attribute ends prematurely at the OrgSubscript. This
could probably be mended by using single quotes for these attributes
inside attributes.
2. again #+CAPTION
if the caption contains a string with /escaped/ underlines (please
note the #+OPTION ^:t)
---8
#+OPTIONS: num:t toc:nil \n:nil @:t ::t |:t ^:t -:t f:t *:t :nil
* First paragraph
#+CAPTION: MMDD\_hhmmss.csv.
| head 1| head2|
|---+--|
| content 1 | content2 |
---8
The escaped _ is not detected; instead, a literal \ and subscript
are detected, and teh document is invalid as above. This escaping
seems not to be mentioned in the documentation, probably because it
is no longer valid. Might be of interest to people who want to
convert old documents.
3. the \ref syntax seems not to work anymore; substituting by \ref{text}
by [[text]] worked.
4. Empty lines between #+NAME and the respective table are no longer tolerated
remarks: I like the new smart quotes. More comfortable than putting in
the utf characters via C-8-RET (which is handy, though, for simple
formulae).
Regards
Martin

Re: [O] new odt-exporter: problems with formatting in captions
Wrt items (1) and (2), I am planning to remove the support for short
captions. (The caption going as part of table:name or draw:name) as
part of fix for
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-12/msg00100.html
The fix is not ready yet. I am just feeling lazy after having not
looked at the code for almost an year now.
NOTE: If someone knows how to accommodate short captions (so that an
that an Index/TOC could be generated from within LibreOffice based on
it, please let me know.)
For the benefit of audience, if you use embedded images in your document
the document produced by the ODT exporter will be openable by
LibreOffice 4.0 but not with LibreOffice 4.1. (In other words,
LibreOffice folks have introduced some backward incompatible changes.)
To ensure that the document produced by the exporter is usable resave
the document from within LibreOffice. (i.e., make some trivial changes
to the ODT document and do a save again). This way the XML produced by
the exporter will be re-written by LibreOffice and the problem will be
averted.
As a side note, I am discussing with Emacs maintainers whether they
would be comfortable about having me maintain the exporter right from
within Emacs repo. I am not sure how the discussion will go.

Hi Martin,
I think 1-2 are related to an earlier report [fn:1]. As it seems this
is on the todo-list of the right person.
