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
