[R] odfTable: how to escape <

[Kuhn, Max]

Francesco,

odfTable writes out a table in xml format directly into an xml file. The
issues is that the characters "<" and ">" (among others) have to be
converted to "&gt;" and "&lt;".

I will build a new version where this happens automatically. In the
meantime, you should be able to use the colnames argument of odfTable
and odfTranslate to convert the column headings:

  > odfTranslate("these need to be fixed: < and >", toR = FALSE)
  [1] "these need to be fixed: &lt; and &gt;"

Subject: [R] odfTable: how to escape <

Dear All,

I'm appreciating odfWeave as a nice reporting tool, but I had some pain 
in producing tables with odfTable command
where the first column began with < or > such as in age class heading, 
for example:
<35
35-39
40-49
50-50
 >60
In this case, to avoid a content.xml error, I had to change <35 in less 
than 35 and > 60 in over 60.

Anyone knows how to escape those characters while producing a table in R

or in a document chunk?


Thanks in advance,

Francesco Cernuto
