Add image caption support for ODT

[ArloL]

I looked at how OpenOffice.org 3.4.0 renders image captions and tried to implement it for pandoc.

Please do check for code style issues or possible problems as I am still very new to Haskell.

Currently the numbers are all set to 1 when opening the output file but "Tools -> Update -> Update All" updates all of the numbers properly.

Ping?

Any updates here, @jgm ? I have a slight dilemma because of this…

Because there's no way to use a template for docx files (according to jgm/pandoc-templates#20), I convert to odt and then soffice (bundled with LibreOffice) to convert to docx. But I can't get image captions that way.

Alternatively, I can go straight from Markdown to docx, but then I can't use a custom template.

Thanks!

@andrewheiss : Out of curiosity, what do you want from a template that isn't available in a reference docx file?

[jondo]

@jkr: This is off-topic and should be posted in issue jgm/pandoc-templates#20.

I'm very interested in having proper (i.e. using frames, autonumbering) captions for figures in .odt.
I think the implementation in this pull request might be slightly overcomplicated (see #2401 for an xml snippet) but I think it is much better to use the native method for captioning than the manually added captions odt currently receives from pandoc.

Figure numbers have been dealt with now in commit ecd4d5b.
We don't have proper frames yet, though.

I will close this PR since it's been 7 years and the code can't be used anymore :)
