If you want to export a table out of #joplin into, for example, an .odt document, don't:
- export to PDF from Joplin, libreoffice will open the PDF as a drawing
- try to copy things with the mouse and right click — it doesn't work
- make a screenshot (people can't copy-paste text from it)
What I opted for was: copy (or export) the markdown into a markdown file, let #pandoc do the conversion directly:
pandoc -o output.odt input.md
Presto.
