similar to: running Sweave from Windows XP Explorer

I am working on a Windows XP machine with R 2.10.1 and a recent installation of MiKTeX 2.8. I use LyX (www.lyx.org) to write documents and have it set up to run Sweave, Stangle, and make the PDF through R using a batch script and a MakeSweave.R file. This system worked just fine until I ran some MiKTeX updates yesterday. This is a bit embarrassing as I helped produce a "How-to" guide to

hi, I have two questions: #first (SPSS vs. R): I just compared the output of different PCA routines in R (pca, prcomp, princomp) with results from SPSS. the loadings of the variables differ vastly! in SPSS the variables load constantly higher than in R. I made sure that both progr. use the correlation matrix as basis. I found the same problem with rotated values (varimax rotation and rtex=T

Hi R users. I've got a problem in producing the pdf file from Latex with R code. When I run the code Sweave("example.Rtex") in R it seems working, but when I run the Latex file it doesn't. The code error shown to me is below: *Runaway argument? {echo=FALSE} data<- read.csv("C:\\Users\\Daniele\\Desktop\\dati\\dati_england ! File ended while scanning use of \FV at

Hi all, I have a RoR app which can output a report in HTML back to the web browser, or (preferably) in PDF using the RTex plugin. I have a number of text fields which are stored as HTML, and am looking for a good way to convert them to something LaTeX-compatible, or plain text if that''s the last resort. I''ve seen a number of html2tex-type converters out there, but they are by

Does any know a simple way to count the number of pages in a PDF file? I''m using teh RTEX plugin to generate a PDF via pdflatex with a defined start page number. I want to determine the final page number so I can start the next PDF in sequence. Thanks in advance for your help! -cal

Hello, I try to document some R scripts for my collegues and observed the problem, that Sweave strips comment lines away. As a small example I write in an Rtex file: \begin{Scode} ## a small example test() # line comment \end{Scode} ... the .tex file generated by Sweave only contains: \begin{Schunk} \begin{Sinput} test() \end{Sinput} \end{Schunk} ... and all the comments are lost.

== Summary == * Problem: BibTeX entries extracted from R packages via citation() require too much manual editing to be of general use. * Proposal: Date: fields should be made mandatory in package DESCRIPTION files, perhaps beginning with warnings from R CMD check * Proposal: Package authors should be encouraged to use a (new) Contributors: field in the DESCRIPTION file rather than packing all

Back in 2010 I raised this issue, and there was some discussion, https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2010-November/058987.html The goal, then, as now is to have a way to produce a bibtex-clean .bib file (i.e., not requiring manual editing except in unusual circumstances) reflecting installed packages for use in writing where one often needs/wants to cite all packages used in a given

Announcing the initial release of the RTex Plugin for Rails. This plugin adds support for .rtex templates/partials, which consist of a mixture of LaTeX (http://www.latex-project.org/) markup and Ruby (using ERB). The resulting LaTeX markup is passed through pdflatex to generate a PDF for the user. You can find more information on the plugin on the Rails wiki Plugin page, or at the

I am working a Bibtex database for my school using Rails and I need some idea on how to manage the bibtex types. I crated an Author and Publications model and put has_and_belongs_to_many relationship between them. The user model basically is like this: class User < ActiveRecord::Base has_and_belongs_to_many :publications end The Publication model has all the Bibtex fields

Hello, I'm running R2.10, Eclipse, StatEt and MikTex 2.8 to create Sweave documents, and everything seems to work great, until today... I was trying to add citations from a Bibtex file, but I just got [?] citations. However, if I open the .tex file that StatEt created in MikTex and run the latex+bibtex+pdflatex command, the citations are present. Does anyone know how to either configure

I have two versions of a bibtex database which have gotten badly out of sync. I need to find find all the entries in bib2 which are not contained in bib1, according to their bibtex keys. But I can't figure out how to extract a list of the bibentry keys in these databases. A minor question: Is there someway to prevent read.bib from ignoring entries that do not contain all required fields?

In my rails app I need to create pdf reports on the fly. I have installed railspdf, wich is working fine. But, how can I create tables and paragraphs and stuff? Can I mimic an .rhtml file (using <% for ...%> etc? Or is it wise to use Ruby::PDF directly? Is there anyone out there with experience in this, and who is willing to share his findings? Thx -- Posted via

Bug or feature? I get the following error from parse_Rd() when a user Rd macro (including system ones) is invoked with empty argument {}, eg \mymacro{}: Error in tools::parse_Rd(fn) : Value of SET_STRING_ELT() must be a 'CHARSXP' not a 'NULL' A full example is further below with the system macro \CRANpkg{}. In this example it doesn't make sense to use empty argument but

Following considerable off list discussion, I will post this on the list in the hope that it may help others who experience the same grief I did getting R sources to build on Windows. Firstly there is just no way that, starting with a clean version of Windows 2003 server, and following the instructions provided in the Admin and Installation manual, web sites and various FAQs, I could

Hi is there an easy and fast way, to generate a BibTeX file of all installed / loaded packages and R? I know about toBibtex(citation()) to extract the BibTeX for a single package, but how can I generate a file containg citations for all installed / loaded packages?

Dear List, While trying to define a customised CITATION file for a package, following R-exts, I realised that if I use only one 'citEntry' I got both a text description and a BibTex entry for the package, as for the 'nlme' package: -------------------------- citation('nlme') To cite package 'nlme' in publications use: Jose Pinheiro, Douglas Bates, Saikat

Dear Colleagues, I would like to provide a CITATION file for my package nat.nblast [1]. I have the correct citation in BibTeX format [2]. How can I convert this BibTeX to the format needed by R for a package CITATION file (I have a lot of other packages needing citations ...). I think what I need is the opposite of RefManageR::toBiblatex [3]. This seems like it should be a common need, so I
