Thanks Duncan. However, now I can't get the Spanish and Portuguese accented
vowels to come out correctly and still keep the indents in the saved document,
even when I set encoding = "UTF-8":
library("XML")
concepts <- c("español", "português")
info <- c("info about español", "info about português")
doc <- newXMLDoc()
root <- newXMLNode("tips", doc = doc)
for (i in 1:length(concepts)) {
cur.concept <- concepts[i]
cur.info <- info[i]
cur.tip <- newXMLNode("tip", attrs = c(id = i), parent = root)
newXMLNode("h1", cur.concept, parent = cur.tip)
newXMLNode("p", cur.info, parent = cur.tip)
}
# accented vowels don't come through correctly, but the indents are correct:
saveXML(doc, file = "test1.xml", indent = T)
Resulting file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<tips>
<tip id="1">
<h1>español</h1>
<p>info about español</p>
</tip>
<tip id="2">
<h1>português</h1>
<p>info about português</p>
</tip>
</tips>
# accented vowels are correct, but the indents are no longer correct:
saveXML(doc, file = "test2.xml", indent = T, encoding = "UTF-8")
Resulting file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tips><tip id="1"><h1>español</h1><p>info about español</p></tip><tip
id="2"><h1>português</h1><p>info about português</p></tip></tips>
I tried to workaround the problem by simply loading in that resulting file and
saving it again:
doc2 <- xmlInternalTreeParse(file = "test2.xml", asTree = T)
saveXML(doc2, file = "test_word_around.xml", indent = T)
but still don't get the indents.
Does setting encoding = "UTF-8" override indents = TRUE in saveXML()?
Thanks. Earl
