Hello Okeke,
Thank you for your kind comment!
I created the .odt file with OpenOffice Writer.
openoffice.org/product/writer.html
There you can choose:
Insert > Fields > Other
Type: Placeholder
Format: Text
Placeholder: o.insert_here
Reference: o.insert_here
It creates the < > fields
For images, you will have to add frames to the .odt file.
Insert > Frame
go to tab "Options", set name to: image: o.my_image
Note that you will get errors if not all Placeholders are filled.
This documentation explains it well:

I created a GitHub repository with example files you can view here:
