ODT writer drops row headings

[larsgw]

Explain the problem.

The ODT writer seems to drop row headings. The example here uses HTML input but I could also reproduce it with a custom reader and the row_head_columns option.

pandoc -f html -t odt odt-table-header.html > odt-table-header.odt

odt-table-header.html:

<table>
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th>Header</th>
      <td>Normal cell (column 2)</td>
      <td>Normal cell (column 3)</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td>Normal cell (column 1)</td>
      <td>Normal cell (column 2)</td>
      <td>Normal cell (column 3)</td>
    </tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

Not only does is the output missing the header cell, the entire column is skipped, and an empty column is appended at the end. Relevant part of odt-table-header.odt:

<table:table table:name="Table1" table:style-name="Table1">
	<table:table-column table:style-name="Table1.A"/>
	<table:table-column table:style-name="Table1.B"/>
	<table:table-column table:style-name="Table1.C"/>
	<table:table-row>
		<table:table-cell table:style-name="TableRowCell" office:value-type="string">
			<text:p text:style-name="Table_20_Contents">Normal cell (column 2)</text:p>
		</table:table-cell>
		<table:table-cell table:style-name="TableRowCell" office:value-type="string">
			<text:p text:style-name="Table_20_Contents">Normal cell (column 3)</text:p>
		</table:table-cell>
	</table:table-row>
	<table:table-row>
		<table:table-cell table:style-name="TableRowCell" office:value-type="string">
			<text:p text:style-name="Table_20_Contents">Normal cell (column 2)</text:p>
		</table:table-cell>
		<table:table-cell table:style-name="TableRowCell" office:value-type="string">
			<text:p text:style-name="Table_20_Contents">Normal cell (column 3)</text:p>
		</table:table-cell>
	</table:table-row>
</table:table>
