pandoc problem (was: XeLaTeX to Word/OpenOffice - the state of the art?)

[Karljurgen Feuerherm]

FWIW, I am surprised (though I don’t know why the difference). The test file I ran, on which I based my earlier comment, included the packages below. As you can see, several of these are on your list. It did burp on the inclusion of one particular graphics file, which I did not pursue….

If someone has any intuition on this, it might be worth knowing about for down the road, if/when I seriously use this utility.

Pandoc might theoretically support the conversion, but I would not
know how good the results would be.

I was going to mention Pandoc too. I use it increasingly often, for
various conversions including targetting Word.  It's an amazing tool.
Very nice in conjunction with Typora too.

This does not seem promising :-( Looks like it just does not handle
XeLaTeX.
