Converting simple .md to .odt - has something changed?

[philiprhoades]

For some time I used to be able to convert this file:

![](IMG_1294.jpg){ height=90% }

IMG_1294 Notes: 

with:

pandoc --from=markdown --to=odt $bn.md --reference-doc=custom-reference.odt -o $bn.odt

to an ODT file and the image would be maxed to the L / R margins and 90% of the height of the page for the Top / Bottom margins.

I haven't used the process for some time and now the image is too wide for the resulting page. I have tried messing around with widths instead but the image is not scaling properly anymore . .

Now using Fedora Linux 39.

Any help appreciated!

Phil.

If you want the width not to overflow the page, then it's best to use width=90%.
Pandoc will try to keep the image in proportion, so if you specify height 90% and the image is, say, square, it will overflow width.

@jgm ,

I am not expressing myself well - I will try to be clearer by adding diagrams . .

Previously when I used the method I described above, I would end up with a photo in an A4 page placed nicely between the margins like Page1 - now, the X-axis in the photo idoes not seem to be scaling properly and I am getting pages like Page2 - am I making sense now?
