...2.6). 'make' and 'make check' run without any problems. 'make info' builds with no complaints, but 'make dvi' and 'make pdf' fail. I get refman.dvi and refman.pdf OK (with some warnings from pdftex that some names are referenced that do not exist), but R-FAQ.{dvi,pdf} fails as shown below. Attempts to build the other R-{intro,admin,...}.{dvi,pdf} (manually via 'make xyzzy') fail similarly. My last serious experience with TeX was some years ago, so I'm not sure if this a glitch in the input files, a borken TeX installation (mine is teTe...

I am sure this is doable but I can''t find a specific example and my brain is frazzled. Basically, I am doing a whole load of in-place editing and need methods to support the updates. Here is what I am doing now: def set_blog_website faq = Faq.find(params[:id]) faq.blog_website = params[:value] faq.save! @faq = faq do_ret end Surely there is a generic way I can do this so that I can do something like def set_blog_website @faq = update_column(:blog_website) end def update_column(column_name) faq = Faq.find(par...

I think the best way that I can currently contribute to the project is through technical writing. So I see myself as doing a serious, long-term project of extending the FAQ. So, I can affirm that I want to really start working :) This at the same time as I plan to regularly release an unofficial Windows distro of Clang with headers and libraries so people don't need to install MinGW to use Clang. I was myself thinking of a number of FAQs: 1. A General FAQ with...

I''m new in Rails, and I''m building my first application. I''m trying to make a FAQ for this application, organized by product (questions about each product) and category (questions of different categories or topics), and there is something I can''t figure it out how to do. I have these tables: create_table "faqs" do |t| t.column "question", :text...

The FAQ Section 7 is a very useful place for new users to find out any number of R idiosycracies. However there is no numbering on the FAQ Table of Content or on the Sections Tables of Contents. An R-help list reply of "Read FAQ 7.10" in response to a question about converting a factor to nume...

I just finished up the first draft of the FAQ translated verbatim from HTML to Sphinx. Sphinx did puzzle me a few times but I got used to its approximate error messages and figured out what the problems were. Perhaps you could take a quick glance at this file and tell me if I am doing something wrong? Otherwise I'll send it off to llvm-...

Hi, I''m starting to build a simple (?!) FAQ system, and I''d like some advice on setting up the model relationships. I was going to go with a simple system of a Category table and a FAQ table (holding questions and answers) - where one FAQ belongs to one category. That''s all nice - a simple has_many / belongs_to relationsh...

Hi. : ) I was updating my unofficial Korean Ogg Vorbis FAQ, when I noticed the following: While #ext is no longer listed in the FAQ contents, http://www.vorbis.com/faq.psp#ext still exists. IMHO http://www.vorbis.com/faq.psp#stream looks a little awkward. I suggest something like: Icecast streams Ogg vorbis to playsers like XMMS, Winamp 2, and foobar2000...

Okay with the manual versus FAQ strategy. I just have to mention that languages like C++ has many FAQs all over the net, altogether totalling perhaps thousands of questions and I see C++ as simple compared to LLVM. But I have plenty to do now. If nothing else, I could try reading the manuals ;-) 2012/6/14 Chandler Carruth &lt...

I'm not sure exactly how to markup the questions. The sphinx FAQ ( http://sphinx.pocoo.org/faq.html) marks it up as a definition list (ctrl-f "definition list" http://sphinx.pocoo.org/rest.html). On the other hand, the Python FAQs (e.g. http://docs.python.org/py3k/faq/general.html) do it differently, with each question as a sub-section. I don't rea...

We have received an email in Ubuntu alerting us that something strange was going on during the r-base 2.7.1 rc build (see [1]). It seems that there is an error during the convertion of R-FAQ.texi to pdf. The following excerpt, taken from [2], shows the problem: /bin/sh: line 0: test: too many arguments TEXINPUTS=".:$TEXINPUTS" /usr/bin/texi2dvi --texinfo="@set UseExternalXrefs " --pdf R-FAQ.texi /usr/bin/texi2dvi: Running pdfetex --file-line-error '/build/bui...

An extremely modest proposal: It would be nice if packages could have a FAQ and if faq(package.name) would produce this faq. And if, by default faq() FAQ() would produce the admirable R faq... Apologies in advance if there is already a mechanism like this, but help.search() didn't reveal anything. url: www.econ.uiuc.edu/~roger Roger Koenker...

Hello, Which port Smb4K uses? I am not able to use Smb4K on my server for the local network. Thanks Varun

Dear list, Here's a reproducible example that fails, library(faq) Error in library(faq) : there is no package called 'faq' faq("lattice sweave") Error: could not find function "faq" As a fun challenge, I propose to remedy this by creating a fortune-like package dedicated to Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) entries. The aim is multif...

"Why did read.table stop reading my file" is a pretty FAQ, e.g. http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.r.general/297406/focus=297409 (I could come up with a lot more examples if someone wanted). The answer is typically "check for spurious comment characters and unmatched quotation marks" Does this seem FAQ-worthy? Should I e-mail the FAQ ma...

Hello Mike, Tom, (I am not sure who is working on this part) There are some funny characters in FAQ.htm in a number of places. I have provided a precursory analysis of this issue. It is not a big=20 deal, but something that I imagine will be worked out at some point. I have provided a couple examples. Is there a way I can see the xslt stylesheets? Could they live in cvs at some point? Maybe I...
