Hi,

One idea about literate programming in LyX has been in my mind for a
while, and I'm wondering how you think about it. I'll take
Sweave/knitr for example:

One nice feature of R language is that it can be used interactively,
which is very helpful for us to do some experimental or exploratory
analysis before we come up with a final data analysis report. I was
thinking perhaps we could send R code from LyX to R like Emacs/ESS and
RStudio do, e.g. open a system shell or command window from LyX, and
send R code there to be evaluated. At the moment we can only compile
the whole LyX document in a batch manner.

I have no idea about the implementation. Any feedback is welcome. Thanks!

Regards,
Yihui
