similar to: A Modest Definition List Proposal

Hello List, While translating documents in markdown, I've noticed that it is often necessary to continue table cell text on the following line, especially when limited to a narrow column, and especially in table headers. Unfortunately, this is impossible with the existing table syntax, which interprets each new line as a new table row. I see that David Wheeler proposed a syntax for a text

Taking David's example further, here is a first try: id | name | description | more info -----+---------+-------------------+----------------- 6 | Inset | An inset element | just one element 8 | Stories | Another element | another element : with 2 lines, without : colons on the left. 9 | Other

Hello, I read David Wheeler's table proposal[1] for Markdown and very much agree with his conclusion and PostgreSQL-inspired proposed format. I also read the mailing list archives for 2009 but did not find any clear concesus on whether DW's format was officially accepted (I hope it is soon!). However, I want to ask: has anyone considered taking these simple ASCII table drawings to the

Hello R users I'm using MuMIn but for some reason I'm not getting the adjusted confidence interval and uncoditional SE whe I use model.avg(). I took into consideration the steps provided by Grueber et al (2011) Multimodel inference in ecology and evolution: challenges and solutions in JEB. I created a global model to see if malaria prevalence (binomial distribution) is related to any

I just downloaded version 1.0.0 and several binary libraries (VR, rpart, norm, stataread) - WinNT version. I then converted a file from Stata 6.0 to R format by using the stataread library. The file converts perfectly and I was able to use the VR function lda on the dataframe without difficulty. I then tried to use the same dataframe with RPART. The model statement:

I have a list of scientific names in a data set. I would like to split the names into genus, species and subspecies. Not all names include a subspecies. Could someone show me how to do this? My example code is: a <- matrix(c('genusA speciesA', 10, 'genusB speciesAA', 20, 'genusC speciesAAA subspeciesA', 15,

To account for likely differences between families in naturalization rates, we fitted a generalized linear mixed model, using PROC NLMIXED in SAS10, with the naturalization rate per genus (that is, the number of naturalized species in a genus as a proportion of the total number of introduced species in a genus) as the response variable, a variable coding genera as containing at least one native

Hi all, Given a data frame as... > head(veg) genus species trophia type geo zone importance 1 Sphagnum subsecundum M A En 100 2 Sphagnum denticulatum M A En 200 3 Molinia caerulea M A En 300 4 Sphagnum flexuosum M A En 400 5 Juncus squarrosus M A En 500 6

I don't see what's missing in my statements to add rows to a data frame and someone else will probably see what needs to be added to the statements. The data frame has this structure (without any data): $ PHYLUM : chr $ SUBPHYLUM : chr $ SUPERCLASS : chr $ CLASS : chr $ SUBCLASS : chr $ INFRACLASS : chr $ SUPERORDER : chr $ ORDER : chr $ SUBORDER :

Dear R users, I am running R2.1 on windows XP SP2. I have a problem that I fear I am providing insufficient information to resolve. But if anyone can suggest directions to understand the problem I would be most grateful. I import modest datasets which create a list of data frames (primary data object) amounting to 15.9Mb when measured internally by object.size() . The sizes of the list

Dear R users, in the example below the name of the genus will be displayed in the main titles using the variable predictor[i] and paste. I would like to have the genus name in italic. However all my attempts using expression and substitute failed. Does anybody know a solution? Thanks a lot in advance. bernd Acrobeles <-c(65.1,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,0.0) Acrobeloides

Hello, As I am using markdown to write documentation, I am often tempted to make links to terms in definition lists. Since this is not possible for now (at least in php markdown extra), I was wondering if this could be a common addition in major implementation supporting definition lists. the syntax would be term {#id} : definition This syntax tries to follows current convention and

Dear List, I am looking to calculate two things from my data frame and was after some advice. For the example below i want to know. 1. How many unique Orders/Families and Genera there are per eco-name 2. How many incidences are there for each Order/Family and Genus there are per eco-region I have 650 econame. I.e for Biak-Numfoor rain forests there are 2 orders, 2 families and two genera.

Time for an update to PHP Markdown and PHP Markdown Extra. <http://michelf.com/project/php-markdown/> This new version of PHP Markdown Extra adds support for "fenced" code blocks (which I was previously calling "flat"). Fenced code blocks overcome many limitations of Markdown's indented code blocks: they can can be put immediately following a list item, can

I am making a barplot using barplot2 from gplots where each bar represents a specific tree species. I have formatted the species names on the x-axis so that the genus name is above the species name and have then rotated the labels 45 degrees to save room. This is my code: >columncolor<-c("grey20", "grey20", "grey20", "grey70",
