The relevant part of the content.xml within the ODT file looks like (pretty-printed): libreoffice no longer complains if you add works whereas doesn't. |

libreoffice was unable to open odt files produced by pandoc if they
contained more than 1 image. e.g. the markdown:
Passed through pandoc to create an ODT causes libreoffice (4.1.3.2) to
produce the an error in a dialog box reading:
> Read-Error.
> Error reading file
Libreoffice doesn't seem to like the values of the `draw:name` attributes
to appear more than once on different `draw:frame` XML elements. I suspect
if the `draw:name` attribute is missing libreoffice internally defaults
to some fixed value causing a conflict if more than one image is present
in the document.
It seems like this technically a libreoffice bug, but it is important for
pandoc to produce ODT files which libreoffice can read given that it and
its cousin openoffice are likely to be the most common programs to be used
to open ODTs so this commit works around this issue in pandoc.
This commit is probably more useful as a guide as to where the code to be
fixed should be fixed rather than something that can be applied directly
to master. It is intended as a discussion point. I do not know Haskell
and have not written any before. Also a test case is missing.
Fixes jgm#1069

Commit e7618ff fixes it for me but is probably not production ready but may be useful as an illustration of the problem. |

Pandoc version 1.11.1
libreoffice 4.1.3.2
on Debian testing (jessie)
libreoffice is unable to open odt files produced by pandoc if they contain more than 1 image.
Test case:
libreoffice opens and presents a dialog box reading:
The issue disappears if the image included only once.
The issue is still present when:
I have not yet tested with Pandoc 1.12.1 as I am having difficulty building it.
I do not know if this is technically a libreoffice or a pandoc issue, either way I think it's important that pandoc produces ODTs that libreoffice can open as that is what the majority of people will be using to open the ODTs.
