Unable to generate reference document for ODT files

[damascene]

I'm generating ODT files from Markdown. The results are not very good. I checked the Docs and found that I can have a reference document to style the document to my need however I'm unable to generate a reference file for ODT documents but it works for Docx documents.

Basically this works and generate a file with headers and other style elements:

pandoc --print-default-data-file reference.docx > custom-reference.docx

But for ODT it doesn't workt:

pandoc --print-default-data-file reference.odt > custom-reference.odt

I just get a single line with Hello World! in it.

I've also tried:

pandoc -o custom-reference.odt --print-default-data-file reference.odt 

I'm using:

pandoc 3.7.0.2
Features: +server +lua
Scripting engine: Lua 5.4

The reference file is working fine as the styles are included, they are just not visualised:

#10327

In my custom.odt template https://github.com/iandol/dotpandoc/blob/master/templates/custom.odt I insert my own content like in the DOCX file so I can see what the styles will look like, it only takes a few minutes. This would probably be an easy pull request for anyone who felt like contributing...
