One of the reasons the patch fails to apply is because I have hand edited it and removed the hunks that correspond to new files (all org-odt related). In my experience, `git apply' is quite intelligent in figuring out that the patch has been tampered with. May be you should try plain old patch utility. #+begin_src sh patch < my.patch #+end_src should provide a good starting point. It is likely to ask some questions just answer them. As noted previously, I have stripped off all the odt related changes from the patch I circulated. The patching route is recommended for existing html users. The checkout route is recommended for html + odt users. Jambunathan K.
