From odt to tex

To export from odt to latex, using Libreoffice (5.0., etc) I tried the various options available in the Libreoffice extension writer2latex:

• ultraclean
• clean
• default
• custom

 Custom was crashing, though it seems the best in view of larger projects. It allows customization of preamble, including the possibility of using weird packages and user-defined commands.

Default was working out of the box, with some ballast useless for my purpose (textrm).

Ultraclean was working, but did not mark key formatting such as italics.

Clean was the best option.

In all cases, there is a window control with some settings related to language, bibtex, etc., that need to be fine tuned. There also xe(la)tex is available. Altogether, awesome extension!
