Message-ID: <87k0k82nuy.fsf@posteo.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <877dg8473k.fsf@ucl.ac.uk> (Eric S. Fraga's message of "Thu, 26 Aug 2021 15:24:15 +0100")

Hi Eric,

I think the problem is in this two lines of `org-odt-template', that
creates the meta.xml file inside the odt file:

(format "<dc:creator>%s</dc:creator>\n" author)
(format "<meta:initial-creator>%s</meta:initial-creator>\n" author)

Perhaps, modifying them like this:

(format "<dc:creator><![CDATA[%s]]></dc:creator>\n" (replace-regexp-in-string "\\\\\\\\" "\n" author))
(format "<meta:initial-creator><![CDATA[%s]]></meta:initial-creator>\n" (replace-regexp-in-string "\\\\\\\\" "\n" author))

We could do this in our documents:

#+AUTHOR: Han Solo \\ Chewbacca

(little tested)

Best regards,

Juan Manuel
