[R] odfWeave: Combining multiple output statements in a function

What is the correct way to combine multiple calls to odfCat,
odfItemize, odfTable etc. inside a function?
As an example lets say I have a function that needs to write two
paragraphs of text and a list to the resulting odf-document (the real
function has much more complex logic, but I don't think thats
relevant). My first guess would be:
exampleOutput <- function() {
odfCat("This is the first paragraph")
odfCat("This is the second paragraph")
odfItemize(letters[1:5])
}
However, calling this function in my odf-document only generates the
last list as only the output of the odfItemize function is returned by
exampleOutput. How do I combine the three results into one to be
returned by exampleOutput?
I tried to wrap the calls to the odf* functions into a print statement:
exampleOutput2 <- function() {
print(odfCat("This is the first paragraph"))
print(odfCat("This is the second paragraph"))
print(odfItemize(letters[1:5]))
}
In another document this seemed to work, but in my current document
strange odf-output is generated.

Jan
