[R] odfTable: how to escape <

[Francesco Cernuto]

Max,

thanks for your suggestions. I 'm now better oriented in reading again 
last October article on Rnews and the odfWeave package documentation.
I realized that odfWeave writes xml output in UTF-8 encoding as 
content.xml first row shows:
|<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
|
As I want also use special characters and accents not only as column, 
but also as row headings, I have directly created a row names character 
vector using xml entities:

In R:

library(odfWeave)
x <- matrix(sample(1:100,24,replace=TRUE),ncol=8)
dimnames(x) <- list(c("Saint 
Honor&#233;","S&#228;cher-Torte","Cr&#232;me Chantilly"),c('< 
35','35-39','40','45-49','50-54','55-59','59-64',' >64'))
odfWeave("test.odt","test.out.odt")


In test.odf document (after adding an extra-column for row names):

<<TabTest, echo=FALSE,results = xml>>=
tabxStyles <- tableStyles(cbind(rep(1,3),x), header=NULL)
odfTable(
x,
useRowNames = TRUE,
colnames = c(“ ”,odfTranslate(dimnames(x)[[2]],toR=FALSE)),
styles=tabxStyles)
@
