In duncantl/ROOXML: Simple tools for Open Office XML documents

Set one or more global properties of an Office Open document

Description

These functions allow us to modify and update the properties of a document to set things like the author/creator, date modified, etc.

setProperty allows us to set general properties by name.

creator<- and setUpdated are convenience functions which set specific properties. These functions update the external archive if doc is descends from OOXMLArchive.

Usage

setUpdated(doc, date = Sys.time(), update = TRUE)
'creator<-'(doc, update = TRUE, value)
setProperty(doc, node.expression, value, update = inherits(doc, "WordArchive"))

Arguments

doc	the object identifying the document of interest. This can be an OOXMLArchive or derived object or a parsed XML document.
node.expression	xpath expression to identify the property of interest
value	the new value for the property.
update	a logical value indicating whether to update the archive or just the XML content of the document in memory

>

date	a date as a string or POSIXt value

Value

These are used for their side effect. They generally return the new value.
