Dear R users,

I am having a problem with odfWeave: when I run

odfWeave('notes.odt', 'notes_out.odt')

I get a bunch of errors that start with "Unescaped '<' not allowed in
attributes values" in post-processing:

  <snip>
...
  'content_1.xml' has been Sweaved

  Removing content.xml

  Post-processing the contents
Unescaped '<' not allowed in attributes values
attributes construct error
error parsing attribute name
attributes construct error
xmlParseStartTag: problem parsing attributes
Couldn't find end of Start Tag text:list-level-style-bullet line 2
error parsing attribute name
attributes construct error
xmlParseStartTag: problem parsing attributes
Couldn't find end of Start Tag U line 2
Opening and ending tag mismatch: text:list-style line 2 and
text:list-level-style-bullet
Unescaped '<' not allowed in attributes values
...
</snip>

I cannot determine the cause of this. The error seems to come and go
erratically, as I experiment with deleting chunks of R code one by one and
pasting them back, i.e. no single chunk seems to be responsible.

I am using the current version of odfWeave (0.7.5). The thing is, the file
processed just fine in a previous version (0.7.3). Does anyone have any
suggestion how to deal with this? I am now kind of locked since I cannot
reproduce a report I was working on...

I also tried to downgrade to the previous working odfWeave version, however
I could not the windows binary for anything other than the latest version
0.7.5. I attempted to install from source by installing Rtools
(Rtools28.exe), however when I try to install odfWeave 0.7.3 (re-zipped from
tar.gz) I get:

> install.packages(pkgs=c('C:/Archive/R/packages/odfWeave.zip',
'C:/Archive/R/packages/XML.zip'), repos=NULL)
updating HTML package descriptions
> library(odfWeave)
Error in library(odfWeave) :
  'odfWeave' is not a valid package -- installed < 2.0.0?

What am I doing wrong? Is it possible to downgrade in this way? Any other
suggestions how to overcome this problem would be very much appreciated.

Thank you,

Aleksey
