Hello! I am starting to integrate DTPO into my consulting practice for managing documents and projects.
How does one get the %date% syntax (or any other related syntax command) to work in a LibreOffice (ODT) or Pages document when using them as templates? It works fine with RTFD template.
Thank you in advance for your time! 
The coding that DEVONthink is doing to replace the placeholders with current information (%date% for example) is for rich text and plain text, because DEVONthink has in-built editing capability for those text types. So, you could modify the template document inside a .dtTemplate package in ~/Library/Application Support/DEVONthink Pro 2/Templates.noindex to use a RTF, RTFD, .text, .markdown, .html, or other plain text format, but not Pages or ODT. If you want to take on the challenge of scripting something, you could probably do the Pages template by creating a .templatescriptd template which also can substitute placeholders by using a custom script that is part of that type of template package. Pages is scriptable – so it’s feasible but not simple to make your own automated template like this.
Or, just make a custom RTF template and then open the documents you make with that in Pages for editing.
Hey There Korm! Thanks so much for the reply. I was afraid this was the case 
Bummer. I prefer to use LibreOffice because I can create custom forms with check boxes, etc. C’est la vie. I will modify things to use RTF. Thanks so much for your time. Have a happy Summer!
