create open office docs with django - best way to format text?

Hi all,

i am trying to generate open office docs (bulk letters) from my django
app.
I am using django-webodt (http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-webodt)
and basically it works really smooth.

The only point i am unsure about is how to 'transfer' the text
formatting from django to an odt doc.
Currently my texts in django are html formatted (using TinyMCE) and i
wonder how to best continue from here.

A simple option is obviously to strip the html and render plain text
in the generated open office docs.
This works, but it would be really nice if my editors could use some
basic formatting (lists, bold etc.)

So what are good options to achieve this?

Is there a way to render html (transform html to rich-text) in an open
office doc?
Or would i be better of to switch to another format for editing the
texts in django (ResT, markup) as there seem to be conversion
libraries?

I'd love to hear how others solved the creation of open office docs
from django.

Thanks!
Andreas
