Embed image in .pod for output in .odt

jkeenan1 has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have a program called multipandoc which takes as input a plain-text file in Perl's Plain Old Documentation (.pod) format and converts it simultaneously into .txt, .html, .pdf and .odt formats. The program is a wrapper around the Pod::Pandoc module from CPAN.

If I wish to embed an image in the .html version of the output, I know that I can say:

=begin html

<img src="file:///tmp/images/sector-balances-over-time-sum-to-zero.jpe
+g">

=end html
[download]

Does anyone know what the equivalent argument would be for embedding a locally stored image in OpenOffice/LibreOffice output? That is, I would like to say something like:

=begin odt

[PATH TO IMAGE]

=end odt
[download]

However, I can't find any documentation that tells me what to put between the =begin and =end tags. Thank you very much.

Since `.odt` files are "merely" zip files containing XML, I would manually embed an image there and then observe the difference in the XML. I presume that it will be some base64-encoded stream.	[reply] [d/l]

May want to treat ODT as a "derived" target, being more readily converted from HTML it seems that directly from POD to HTML. https://askubuntu.com/questions/82634/how-to-convert-tex-into-odt https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/240524/odtxml-replace-embedded-image-without-lowriter/	[reply]
