Hello All,

Have recently started learning Sweave and Knitr. Am now trying to learn odfWeave as well. Things went pretty smoothly with Sweave and Knitr but I'm having some trouble with odfWeave.

My understanding was that odfWeave should work in pretty much the same way as Sweave. With odfWeave, you set up an input .odt file in a folder, run that file through the odfWeave function, and then the function produces an output .odt file in the same folder. 

So I decided to try that using a file called simple.odt that comes with the odfWeave package. Unfortunately, things didn't work out quite as I had hoped. Below is the result of my attempt to odfWeave that file via Emacs. 

For some reason, odfWeave is setting the wd to a location on the C drive when my input file is on the N drive. I tried altering this by setting the location of workDir to my folder on the N drive. odfWeave through up an error saying that this folder already exists. So perhaps the files are supposed to be processed in a location other than the one where the input file resides.

The other thing is that odfWeave is finding an unexpected "&". There is text in the "simple.odt" input file that looks like "paste(levels(iris$Species), collapse = " but it has no "&". So presumably something is wrong in the xml markup that is being produced. 

If anyone can help me understand what is going wrong here, that would be greatly appreciated. 

Thanks,

Paul
