I'm getting into a bit of trouble, trying to convert a Latex article to OpenOffice. First of all, I'm using Ubuntu 11.04, with a texlive 2011 installation (installed via tlmgr).
EDIT1: There is now a MWE based on the test case given (which is a shell script) – see at end of post
Here is the test case I'm working with:
mkdir tmp && cd tmp
wget http://www.inderscience.com/www/download/latex_singlecolumn_2010.zip
unzip latex_singlecolumn_2010.zip
cd Single-column/Single-column/
ln -s ../../singlecol-new.cls . # symlink class file in top dir
# make a copy to a test latex file:
cp IJDMB-4\(4\)07-MullahandEguchi.tex mytemp.tex
# hack temp latex file; end of its preamble at "\spaceskip=3.5pt..." line
sed -ri 's_^\\spaceskip(.*)_ \\spaceskip\1 \\usepackage{times} \\usepackage{url} \\usepackage[breaklinks]{hyperref} \\usepackage{breakurl} \\hypersetup{colorlinks=, linkcolor=, citecolor=, filecolor=, urlcolor=} % hack for math in sections: \\let\\oldsection\\section \\def\\
mpl{\\oldsection[]} \\let\\section\\
mpl _' mytemp.tex
# do a test run
pdflatex mytemp.tex
# OK: Output written on mytemp.pdf (12 pages, 249090 bytes).
Good enough for now – but I'd like to use oolatex now on this doc; and since there's no oolatex in texlive, I try this:
mk4ht oolatex mytemp.tex
… and the process fails at:
...
Package hyperref Message: Driver: htex4ht.
...
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> \headerps@out
{/burl@stx null def /BU.S { /burl@stx null def } de...
l.306 }
Now, I found somewhere the line \def\headerps@out#1{\special{! #1}}%, and if I add it to my preamble here:
...
\spaceskip=3.5pt plus1.47pt minus0.77pt \makeatother
\makeatletter
\def\headerps@out#1{\special{! #1}}%
\makeatother
\usepackage{times}
...
then it seems to get registered – and if I try to build again, the process fails with another error:
$ mk4ht oolatex mytemp.tex
...
! Undefined control sequence.
<argument> ...\a:mathml columnlines="\columnlines
" \a:mathml equalcolumns="...
l.203 G
_2\\[1pt] G_1\\
?
Anyone have an idea how could I get the above example to build as OpenOffice document?
Many thanks in advance for any answers,
Cheers!

\maketitle
\section{Introduction}
The basic methodology for mapping QTLs involves arranging a
cross between two inbred strains differing substantially in a
quantitative trait: segregating progeny are scored both for the
trait and for a number of genetic markers. A cross between two
parental inbred lines $P_1$ and $P_2$ is performed to produce
an $F_1$ population. .... \cite{Zeng94} named this
combination as~CIM.
\section{Genetic model}\label{modelMLE}
Let us consider a QTL in the backcross population in which the
frequencies of genotypes $QQ$ and $Qq$ are $1/2$ and $1/2$,
respectively. The genetic model for a QTL is as follows:
\[
\bmG =
\begin{bmatrix}
G_2\\[1pt] G_1\\
\end{bmatrix}
=
\begin{bmatrix}
1\\[1pt] 1\\
\end{bmatrix}
\mu +
\begin{bmatrix}
1/2\\[2pt] -1/2\\
\end{bmatrix}
[a] ={\bf 1}_{2\times 1}\mu+\bmD\bmE.
\]
\section{Robust QTL analysis by CIM model based on minimum\\
${\bm\beta}$-divergence estimators}\label{BetaDivergence}
The $\beta$-divergence between two probability density
functions $p(u)$ and $q(u)$ is defined~as
\[
D_{\beta}{(p, q)}
=\int\bigg[\frac{1}{\beta}\big\{p^\beta(u)-q^\beta(u)\big\}p(u)
-\frac{1}{\beta+1}\big\{p^{\beta+1}(u)-q^{\beta+1}(u)\big\}\bigg]{\rm
d}u,
\]
for $\beta>0$.
\section*{Conclusion}\label{Conclusion}
This paper discusses a new robust QTL mapping algorithm based
on CIM model in an experimental organisms by minimising
$\beta$-divergence using the EM like algorithm.
... However, $R_\beta$ should satisfy $0\leq{R_\beta}\leq 1$

Best Answer
Ah darn it - I should have looked better
;)Well, if we look at the second error more closely:
... it is quite noticeable, due to the linebreak, that
\columnlinesis the problem; so I searched a bit more on that - and it turns out it's a know bug from 2009: [tex4ht] Bug Report: oolatex broken:So, as noted in the post, just add
\let\columnlines\emptyright after the\def\headerps@outpart - and finally,mk4ht oolatex ...passes without a problem:)(I'm noting however, that math is rendered as images in the .odt, and pagination is not preserved - as page margins (and apparently font sizes) are not preserved...).Well, hope this helps others too,
Cheers!
EDIT: Darn it - and it turns out, the
\columnlinesthing is essentially a duplicate here: mathmode - Latex to ODF/DOC using mk4ht oolatex failing on equation arrays - TeX - LaTeX - Stack Exchange ... ah, nevermind:)
