I am looking into this. The problem is indeed that Rd preview requires a
file but roxy doesn't create one. If everyone agrees I will fix the C-c
C-p (Rd-preview-help) to create a temp associated file if missing.

Yes, would be nice, there is already C-c C-e C-t to preview in HTML
(which you should use in meanwhile). I will create the text previewer
and bind to C-c C-e t if someone doesn't come with a better shortcut.

Best,
Vitalie.

Re: Problem with preview of Rd files


Solved in SVN and added new function ess-roxy-preview-text bound to C-c
C-e t.

There is a font-lock issue in Rd preview. If the Rd buffer doesn't have
an associated file (as roxy generates it), the buffer is not
fortified. Looks like a font-lock bug to me.

My recollection is that a buffer unaffiliated with a file always opens in
fundamental mode,
no matter what the buffer's extension is.  Rather than opening a buffer,
can you open a new file.
You don't need to save it to get the behavior, but it does need to be a
file.

The problem is that setting the Rd-mode, and activating font-lock
doesn't actually fontify the buffer. This should be unrelated to whether the
buffer visits a file or not, *R* buffer also doesn't  visit any file.

If I manually call font-lock-fontify-buffer, the *RoxyPreview* buffer is
fortified. If I call it from Rd-mode and ess-roxy-preview-Rd functions,
it is not. I must be missing something here.

Vitalie.

Emacs and R in Ubuntu 10.10

To whom it may concern,

I am trying to set up Emacs so that it sends my script to the R console 
instead of running R commander; but I seem to keep getting error of
all sorts, and I can't do some of the steps that I see on the web.
Please could you tell me (in as simple terms as possible in case maybe I missed
something obvious and I can't see it) how to go about "synchronizing" R
with Emacs? 

Thanks for the help!
Marta

Re: Emacs and R in Ubuntu 10.10

Hi Marta,

Usually all it takes is installing R, emacs, and ess:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install r-base r-base-dev emacs ess

Then open a file with a .R exentsion, such as MyRscript.R. Emacs should enter 
ess mode, giving you an ESS menu and toolbar (assuming you've not turned 
disabled these in your emacs setup). From there you can use the menu to start 
R, or type M-x R <ret>.

If you continue to have trouble, please describe the steps you took and the 
errors that resulted.

Best,
Ista

Re: ESS-help Digest, Vol 108, Issue 3

Hi Marta

I do work with Ubuntu and use emacs + R without any problem, as yours 
should do. Have you installed ESS correctly? (Try

sudo apt-get install ess

Then try to paste the following code in your .emacs file (it should be 
in your home directory; Control+h will allow you to see these hidden 
files), restart emacs and open an R session. The code also contains code 
to work with Rsweave to combine R and LaTeX:

(require 'ess-site)
(require 'ess-eldoc)
(setq TeX-file-extensions
       '("Snw" "Rnw" "nw" "tex" "sty" "cls" "ltx" "texi" "texinfo"))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Rnw\\'" . Rnw-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.Snw\\'" . Snw-mode))
(add-hook 'Rnw-mode-hook
  (lambda ()
   (add-to-list 'TeX-expand-list '("%rnw" file "Rnw" t) t)
   (add-to-list 'TeX-command-list
    '("Stangle" "R CMD Stangle %rnw"
      TeX-run-command nil (latex-mode) :help "Run Stangle") t)
   (add-to-list 'TeX-command-list
    '("Sweave" "R CMD Sweave %rnw"
      TeX-run-command nil (latex-mode) :help "Run Sweave") t)
   (add-to-list 'TeX-command-list
  '("LatexSweave" "%l \"%(mode) \\input{%s}\""
;  '("LatexSweave" "%l %(mode) %s"

Hi Marta:

I just did this myself with Ubuntu 11.10.  For some strange reason on 
Ubuntu (and Debian I suppose), you need to manually add the ess 
directory to the load-path since it does not happen automatically (why 
god why?).  Anyways, I did it like this:

(debian-pkg-add-load-path-item "/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/ess")

It's actually a two-way path, we also don't have enough developers
because of the rigid development system. Git encourages and is all about
branching. On GitHub forking and pull requests are one click away.  Very
