Max,

Thank you for your answer. I have had another look at the examples (I already had before mailing the list), but could find the example you mention. Could you perhaps tell me which example I should have a look at?

Regards,
Jan

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.

Regards,

Jan
