I have installed pandoc and tried to converted two markdown documents to ODT opening them in 
LibreOffice  4.3.7 under CentOS 6.8.

It seems Pandoc modifies the LO styles, setting fonts to Arial, Times Roman etc. which are not 
available in LO. Pandoc also did not assign the default list style to lists, nor did it handle 
tables at all. Although tables are not part of the core markdown they are part of a common 
extension.

I would have preferred pandoc to use whatever the style settings are in LO, not trying to change 
anything.
