Aric Another approach: In the past I have used tex4ht to process a LaTeX book. At least on Linux, there is a script 'oolatex' that does a pretty good job. I'm using Debian and, for some reason, oolatex is not in the execution path but is located at /usr/share/tex4ht/oolatex. I had a LaTeX book length manuscript (about 700 pages) that converted reasonably well, but I haven't tried the Org -> LaTeX -> LibreOffice procedure yet.

I am in the same fix -- writing in Org but needing to submit most things in Word. Damned annoying. It really would be nice to see Org get the references/bibliography problem fixed up properly. The Pandoc version of Markdown does it well. As you note, bibtex and csl is a killer combination. Org is so nice to use for authoring that I can't give it away.

BTW, Markdown export back-end turns tables into raw HTML code, which, AFAIK, is allowed in Markdown. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou

I have been able to export to markdown and everything looks good in markdown (even previewed on github) with the exception of latex code which is not converted. However, using pandoc to convert the markdown to docx, the tables are not converted properly (all a single column). I'm not sure why you are using markdown as an intermediate file format. Org will export to latex, pdf (via latex) and openoffice odt (which can be exported from open/libre office to doc/docx.). Both the above exporters are much more mature that the markdown exporter. rick

As for the latex code, I'm not sure what you'd like to achieve, you want the latex code to be converted to what? Have a nice day Vilibald
[O] Org Table Export to Markdown Table Question
Hello, I am trying to use org-mode now with R code in it to write manuscripts. That does unfortunately mean that it must be eventually exported to some doc format. I have been able to export to markdown and everything looks good in markdown (even previewed on github) with the exception of latex code which is not converted. However, using pandoc to convert the markdown to docx, the tables are not converted properly (all a single column). I realize this is a pandoc problem, but since markdown supports tables, is it possible to have Org export the tables into markdown as markdown tables rather than html tables? Also, is there a way for latex code to be converted prior to markdown export? Thanks, Aric
