As I stated before, I had in the work a utility to control spaces around punctuation and at some other places. Now, I've integrated it, with a few extra quote goodies, within PHP SmartyPants, as an extension just like PHP Markdown Extra extends PHP Markdown. And so appeared SmartyPants Typographer (announcement on my weblog)

<> Hello One sometimes (quite often really ) marvel at the choice of defaults in R's graphic engine. For some obscure reason, mtext uses the typographical descender (bottom of letters) to align text. That is: "gG" will end up slightly higher that "GG". Depending on the font, "Q" might end up higher than "O". (for explanation of baseline & descender see: http://www.paratype.com/help/term/terms.asp?cod...

hi, i'm trying to prepend some plain (i.e. unevalutated) text to a typographically evaluated R expression in a legend(...) call. here's a working legend(...) call that is close to what i'd like (where x and y are returned from an lm(...) call): legend("topleft", legend = c(bquote(R^2 == .(summary(x)$r.squared)), bquote(R^2 == .(summary(y)$r.squared))), fil...

...ocyten +" "gramnegatieve staven +++" # "grampositieve staven ++" # # [[2]] # [1] "leucocyten -" "grampositieve coccen +" -- Best regards, Ivan P.S. It looks like your e-mail client has transformed every quote character into typographically-correct Unicode quotes ?? and every minus into an en dash, which makes it slightly harder to work with your code, since typographically correct Unicode quotes are not R string delimiters. Is it really ? that you'd like to split upon, or is it -?

Hi, I use textilize() which is a great way of letting end users edit contents. But the code in RedCloth is quite compact, and doesn''t allow for easily adding correct typographic behaviour depending on the lang of the text. For instance, correct quoting uses round double quotes in english and double carons ? ? in french; the spaces before punctuation can be corrected too. I''d like to know if there is an effort somewhere to clean up a bit the RedCloth code, and add...

Hi, I am typesetting R code in TeX using the listings package. I have experimented with various settings for the text, but all look a bit ugly. This might be because I have no typographic experience ;-) I would really appreciate if people sent me the settings they use for the listings package (eg in the \usepackage line, or \lstset, I am thinking about choices for basicstyle, ... etc). I could experiment with lost of different settings, but I guess that some people who use listing...

...ackages in order to install the firefox package. Why? I removed evolution from my system for a reason, and I'd just as soon it stays gone. [*] Additional off-topic rant: Why was the API access to form history removed from Firefox? Why must I throw away my entire history to get rid of a few typographical errors to reduce the number of bogus field completion choices I'm offered?

Dear all, I would like to employ a European map in a presentation. My idea was to use: library(mapdata) map("worldHires", c("Austria", "Switzerland", "Germany")) where I include all countries from my analysis as a vector of character strings like in the example above. Unfortunately, I was unable to specify the Baltic States (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia) or

...solely in R (ie without writing C code)? I realize that it will be much slower, but first I would like to see how it works before writing in C. What source files should I be looking at? You may ask why I should bother about using Metapost. Well, I'd like my TeX documents to be more consistent typographically, and MP has quite a lot of useful features (such as the possibility to include its eps output in LaTeX directly, EVEN when generating PDF files with latexpdf). But the biggest bonus would clearly be the ability to typeset math formulas nicely. (I realize that this would require one to start a M...

Hello List, ? I have a dataset consisting of strings that I want to split while saving the delimiter. ? Some example data: ?leucocyten + gramnegatieve staven +++ grampositieve staven ++? ?leucocyten ? grampositieve coccen +? ? I want to split the strings such that I get the following result: c(?leucocyten +?, ??gramnegatieve staven +++?, ??grampositieve staven ++?) c(?leucocyten ??, ?grampositieve

Hi, I'm trying to fit a model using variance components in R, but if very new on it, so I'm asking for your help. I have imported the SPSS database onto R, but I don't know how to convert the commands... the SPSS commands I'm trying to convert are: VARCOMP RATING BY CHAIN SECTOR RESP ASPECT ITEM /RANDOM = CHAIN SECTOR RESP ASPECT ITEM /METHOD = MINQUE (1) /DESIGN

Please understand in the following that I am making relatively minor changes to legacy (non-TDD/BDD) code in Substruct and don''t have the time to refactor nicely right now. I''m just trying to get past the untested/un-speced cruft quickly to write the spec for my new code, so I''m looking for expediency over prettiness. I''m specifying before( :each ) do

Dear R gurus and users, for some functions in some of the many packages available for R, with the current definition of \Header given in Rd.sty, the heading bumps into the surrounding words in documentation printed via LaTeX. To alleviate this minor typographical mishap, I'd like to suggest the change to R/doc/manual/Rd.sty included below as a context diff. With this minor diff applied, the heading proper is included in a minipage environment of appropriate size, which results in line breaks introduced in the heading instead of bumping into the surrou...

...ever use this, > so am actually pleased to find a bug report! For me, it's a cool feature: I use the standard help file when I know what I want to do, but I don't remember that !?$ù* option I need. But, to learn the details of a new (for me) command I prefer the visually pleasant and typographically elegant (yes, I print sometimes...) pdf files produced by pdflatex with this new feature (and so I can appreciate the hard work of the R team in the developpement of the R help file format...) > > BTW, using PDF format for help files is one of the ideas under debate. > Another is to...

Hi, I have an apply statement that looks like: > check.cols <- function(v1, v2) { + return( identical(v1,v2) ); + } > x [,1] [,2] [,3] [1,] 1 3 3 [2,] 4 5 4 [3,] 2 7 6 > apply(x, c(2), check.cols, v2=c(7,8,9)) [1] FALSE FALSE FALSE Is it possible to make the function check.cols() inline to the apply statement. Some thing like this: apply(x,

How do I set up my model equation in aov to analyze a split-plot design? I have two factors (CO2 and NITROGEN), each with two levels (high and ambient). CO2 is my whole-plot factor with three replicates for each level (i.e., 6 rooms total). Is this syntax below correct? summary(aov(response ~ ROOM + CO2*NITROGEN + Error(ROOM/CO2)))
