Hi all,

I will not leading a war OpenOffice against latex. In my opinion, it to 
could be very interesting to have a good odt import/export facility. 
Specially if you have a wiki knowledge base witch contain best practices 
or procedures :
- you can go on site with your exported procedures,
- follow, modify and improve these procedures,
- and import it with changes and comments.

Anyways, we're agree latex provide better text layout. But the main 
problem is images layout, it's still makeshift. Putting to images side 
by side in latex is not easy as the web way, it should be easier 
directly in PDF.
I am still developing the plugin further, it will involve in a more 
close Doku_Renderer class and a better configuration system. I am not 
aware of remaining bugs, but you know the sentence : "No bugs, no 
users". ;) So if you have noticed some, please report it on the web page.
By the way, I have never used BibTeX, so I don't know how to add this 
feature.
