R-Sweave

[Pedro Aphalo]

Dear Karl, Alex, et al.

I just upgraded to Winedt 9, and everything I was earlier doing with
Winedt 8 seems to be working very nicely, and it does really look very
modern!

I am using MikTeX 2.9 on Windows 7 x64.

I decided to give the new R-Sweave a try. It is again very nice and
seems to work o.k. with single files. I am writing a whole book using
knitr and the book is split into several .Rnw files which are "included"
using knitr chunks. The output of this draft is around 250 pages
including many figures. I have been using until now RStudio, which
although very good for R, does not have enough flexibility on the LaTeX
side of things. So, I would rather use Winedt for this project... but a
file that compiles with an apparently unimportant warning in RStudio
gives errors in Winedt... I can try to debug this problem by myself as
it may be totally unrelated to Winedt, but I would like to know if there
are any known limitations on using a multiple file set up with R-Sweave.
In addition it would be also very nice to be able to have the child .Rnw
files visible in the tree panel, and probably the code chunks on a
different background colour on the Winedt screen so that are easier to find.

Best wishes,

Pedro.

Pedro,

for this kind of things, contact the maintainer of R-Sweave:

Gilbert Ritschard <***@unige.ch>

Best regards,

Dear Karl et al.,

Sorry! The problem was in my own .Rnw file. But this was an interesting
lesson: an undefined color in my source file was apparently defined when
the same file was LaTeXed from within the RStudio editor window using
the same installation of MikTeX and R... but both from the Windows
console and from within Winedt it caused an error.

Best wishes,

Pedro.
