[Template ODT] NewLine

[JMD]

Hi !

Thanks for helping me !
I'm french, and that would explain the number of english errors in
this little text :D

I'm trying to edit a template like the "test.odt".

I'm building a ArrayList to make a OOo list. It's working, but the
char "newline" (\n\r or \r\n I never know...) don't create a newline
in the output ODT.
I check the "content.xml" file in the output file, and the newline
char isn't replaced by a tag for end+begin of the line...

Quote content.xml :
<text:list-item><text:p text:style-name="P1"><text:span
text:description="item.getContent()">Line1
Line2
Line3</text:span></text:p></text:list-item>

How can I make a new line ?

Thanks for all !

XML "normalizes" whitespace, so putting in a \r or \n won't help. You
need to add a <text:line-break> element.

And how do I add this element ?
I tried :
List<Step> steps = new ArrayList<Step>();
Iterator<Step> iter = recette.getSteps().iterator();
while(iter.hasNext()) {
Step myStep = iter.next();
myStep.setContent(myStep.getContent().replaceAll("\n", "<text:line-
break>"));
steps.add(myStep);
}
template.setField("steps", steps);

And in my ODT, I have "<text:line-break>" and not a new line :(

Thanks !

To create true elements, don't you need to use a class like
org.jopendocument.model.text.TextLineBreak ? (I don't know; I haven't
used jOpenDocument much.) You're just putting a string into the
content; that doesn't create a real element.

I found it but I really don't know how to use it in the
template.setField(). Maybe i can try to modify the content.xml, but
without an example...

lol the class TextLineBreak is empty

Youuuuuhouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

I look at the src, with breakpoints everywhere, and the answer is to
add "%enc:" before the expression of the label in the ODT.
For exemple, for a repeated list of items, my expression became
"%enc:m.getContent()".

Thanks for your help !
