Re: [R] slightly off topic...

The fact that the attachment to someone with a .de domain has them labeled
mit de Wort "Teil" suggests that the labeling is being done at the final
destination, since the server is set up with English messages.


wie er scharfsinnig bemerkte[1]

:-)

Looking at the ASCII version of one such email reveals:
- the part or Teil is how my thunderbird (English at work, German at home)
announces the parts of multipart emails. Neither "part 1.2" nor "Teil 1.2" is
written anywhere in the source.

- the r-help list footer somehow ended up as separate part of the email

Cheers,

Claudia

Turns out I just wasn't looking closely enough -- I use gmail through
my webrowser, so  attachments do come through. I guess I confused this
mailing list with another (which does strip attachments).

Anyway, thanks for the clarification.

Re: [R] [slightly off topic] Sweave with markdown

2008-05-24 Thread baptiste Auguié

Thank you all, I think I have a good list of options now.

The best suited to my personal taste seems to be the Brew package,  
which I completely overlooked until I looked at the source examples.  
If I can persuade my text editor (textmate) to recognize the markup  
and also execute the R chunks, I'll have my dream workflow: a single  
text file with both text (in a lightweight, email friendly markup),  
and the R commands together. The MultiMarkdown extension allows me to  
convert the brewed file into whatever output one could wish for:  
LaTeX, Html, pdf, rtf,... I'll probably be using the html conversion  
for routine work, and the LaTeX one when a clean printed version is  
needed. The use of dev.copy or some similar command should make easy  
the creation of both bitmap and vector versions of the graphs if needed.


Thanks again everyone!

Try using NeoOffice or the development version of OpenOffice. The new
version (3.0) of OpenOffice is better integrated into OS X and should
probably do the trick

   http://download.openoffice.org/3.0beta/

It is beta, but it has been pretty stable for me.

[R] [slightly off topic] Sweave with markdown

of Sweave is that one can define new drivers for the text part, while  
some functions that deal with the R code would not require any  
modification. Here's the reason I'm interested in Mardown for a driver.


I've been orbiting around Sweave for several weeks, and while I
