I thought that by highlighting the output in Lyx and then turning it
into verbatim text by clicking on the TEX icon, I could then
manually align and break lines of text. But I can't.
Do I need to use Latex commands in the TEX box I have just created
(which seems fair enough, I just need to find out what they are) or
is there a better way of doing this.
I typically use the LyX-code environment for monospaced output from
another program. Does that work for you?
Thanks,
Just tried that, which looks a possibility, but are stuck with
aligning columns using the space bar, or is there something clever?
Um, I'm confused (my default rest state). I just ran a simple
regression in R, selected the summary output and copied it to the
clipboard, switched to a LyX doc, set the environment to LyX-code and
pasted in the clipboard contents (C-S-v, or Edit > Paste Special >
Plain Text). It's identical in layout to what showed up in the R GUI
window. Do you mean that you want different column alignment than
what R provides? If so, then I think you are going to have to become
one with the space bar.
Not as confused as I am, yes the alignment is the same as in R once you
add a few hard returns, but the columns are never properly aligned in R,
and need a bit of tweaking, which I usually do with tabs, but it looks
as if in Lyx I will need to use the space bar.
Thanks,
Graham
