3.5 OpenDocument Text document

To create an OpenDocument Text (ODT) document from R Markdown, you specify the odt_document output format in the YAML metadata of your document:

---
title: "Habits"
author: John Doe
date: March 22, 2005
output: odt_document
---

Similar to word_document, you can also provide a style reference document to odt_document through the reference_odt option. For best results, the reference ODT document should be a modified version of an ODT file produced using rmarkdown or Pandoc. For example:

---
title: "Habits"
output:
  odt_document:
    reference_odt: my-styles.odt
---
