I personally dislike rewriting plugins too much to meet requirements
for book export. The ODT plugin is great but needs another step to
be converted to PDF.
In my company we use another Approach. Style the page to be printed
as you like it. Then use the siteexport plugin with the PDF
extension. This works pretty well and the structural and optical
parts are detached. Only caveat: designing the first template takes
a while.
Thanks for the suggestion, but we are already a long way down the path
we chose ;-)
I've also written a set of special plugins to support formatting and
documentation automation features that we need (and which are unlikely
to be of use to others) - our documents contain a lot of content
that's generated from other parts of the document. These already
support most (if not all) of the ODT features that we need that I
don't consider "generic" (e.g. table formatting).
Converting from ODT to PDF for us is simple as the OpenOffice PDF
export does exactly what we need.
