duncantl/ROOXML: Simple tools for Open Office XML documents

This is a collection of some general and quite simple facilities accessing common elements from within R of an Open XML document, Microsoft's current format. These provide examples for accessing the contents of the document and its meta-data. More will be added for modifying the content, and also reading richer structures such as worksheets, etc. At present, this is more an illustration of what is possible and a way to encourage others to explore these documents. We can do very similar things for OpenOffice documents. (See ROpenOffice for a start.) Some of the functionality currently in this package will be moved to a separate package for Word, and some functionality already exists in RExcelXML. In this way, this package will provide the functionality common to two or more Open XML document formats.
