Hi all,

I just started looking into relatorio and I read in the documentation:

> In this example, we only used the py:for directive, but Relatorio also supports other Genshi directives: py:if, py:choose / py:when / py:otherwise and py:with.

However, I cannot get a choose - when clause into my odt document.

I tried adding fields (Ctrl+F2) comprising  
\<choose=“”\>  
\<when=“o.total \<= 100”\>  
\<when=“o.total \> 100”\>

I also tried with closing tags. With the above, I get the error:

> TypeError: escape\_xml\_invalid\_chars() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘choose’

Could anybody please give an example? Or is this not supported?

Thank you!  
Dom Ca

It should be:

```auto
<choose>
<when test="o.total <= 100">
</when>
<when test="o.total > 100">
</when>
</choose>

```

or even better:

```auto
<choose>
<when test="o.total <= 100">
</when>
<otherwise>
</otherwise>
</choose>

```
