Details

odfCat is an analog to cat and is useful for producing output in user-defined functions. It converts its arguments to character strings, concatenates them, separating them by the given 'sep=' string. It then sandwiches the text between tags, and then outputs them. Note that this will produce paragraphs and cannot sequentially produce sentences within a paragraph. cat uses an internal function, so there will be some differences between cat and odfCat. For example, factors are naively converted to character and numeric data are converted to character.

Since the text is embedded in ODF tags escaped characters (e.g. \n) don't have any effect. Exceptions are single- and double-quotes.

The paragraph uses the current paragraph style. The document formatting.odt in the package's examples directory illustrates the process of changing the appearance of the paragraph.
