problem with odfWeave

Hello,

thanks to Sarah for her help. That works fine, except for one thing. When I
generate my reports, using odfWeave(), some cells in my tables are filled
with the expression I put in the input file (/Sexpr(...)) instead of the
result of its evalutation. I suspected there was a problem in the XML code ;
indeed, when I look at the content.xml file of the input ODT file, there are
some <text:soft-page-break/> tags in the middle of cells.

Is it any way of instructing OpenOffice not to put these tags, or do I have
no other choice than removing them by hand in the content.xml file ?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Joel

Hi Joel,

If you actually want to make a table, you need to use odfTable. There
are examples
in the help for that function. Same for odfCat, but instead of
creating a table, that will
print your output.

eg to print your output:

<<echo=FALSE>>=
? ?odfCat("some random normal data:", rnorm(5)) # from the help file
@

or to make a table:

<<echo=FALSE>>=
? ?x <- matrix(1:12, ncol=3)
? ?colnames(x) <- c("a", "b", "c")
? ?odfTable(x)
? ?odfTableCaption("A useless table")
@

ODT files are actually compressed XML files. If you just print from
within R, there are no
XML tags around your output and OpenOffice has no idea what to do with it.
The
various odfSomething R functions wrap the R output in XML tags so OOo will
understand it in the final output.

Hello,

I have encountered problems using odfdWeave. I actually have the same

error

message as was reported in this message (
http://tolstoy.newcastle.edu.au/R/e6/help/09/01/0872.html), but I don't
quite understand the answer made by Max Kuhn ("You need to cat the

results

using odfCAt, otherwise you are just writing the output with no XML

around

it."). What I am supposed to do exactly ?

What I'm trying to do is writing values I have computed earlier in the

cells

of a table in an ODT file.

I'm very grateful in advance for any help...
