Hi Eric, I think the problem is in this two lines of `org-odt-template', that creates the meta.xml file inside the odt file:
(format "<dc:creator>%s</dc:creator>\n" author) (format "<meta:initial-creator>%s</meta:initial-creator>\n" author) Perhaps, modifying them like this: (format "<dc:creator><![CDATA[%s]]></dc:creator>\n" (replace-regexp-in-string "\\\\\\\\" "\n" author)) (format "<meta:initial-creator><![CDATA[%s]]></meta:initial-creator>\n" (replace-regexp-in-string "\\\\\\\\" "\n" author)) We could do this in our documents: #+AUTHOR: Han Solo \\ Chewbacca (little tested) Best regards, Juan Manuel Eric S Fraga writes: > So, as usual, I answer my own question, sort of. > > The problem is that org exports the author text enclosed within a > special directives, specifically: > > (format "<text:initial-creator>%s</text:initial-creator>" author)) > > New line directives are not allowed within this declaration, it > seems.
