Hi,I use Lyx for writing reports on data analysis. To incorporate results from those analysis, I use Sweave within Lyx. This is all nicely integrated in the recent versions of Lyx. There is one major inconvenience remaining for me, however, and that is described here.
I usually develop my R-code in Emacs (ESS-mode). This permits me to refine my tables and graphs before I incorporate them into Lyx. This is much faster as it interactive and avoids the time to run LaTeX (or export the R, etc etc). Then I write the text part of my report, and, in the Lyx scrap, I paste the required chunks of R-code. Nice and simple (thank you!). The problem is that when I paste the R-code from Emacs to the Lyx scrap, the End-Of-Line character gets converted into something else (a BLANK or some other white space, I guess), which is not acceptable to the R-parser when Sweave runs. This means that every paste operation is followed by many edit operations to convert the blanks back into new-lines.
Is is possible to prevent this mangling of the paste? Or could there be a right-click option to "paste-retaining-newlines" or something such item? Or is this a user-error and there is a better way to perform the actions I am describing (A wild example that I have not tried: in a blank Lyx window, import the Emacs file, then cut-and-paste from one Lyx buffer to another).
System: Linux (Kubuntu 8.04) Lyx: 2.0.5.1, built from source.Cut-and-paste: Standard Linux/X11, selecting with left-mouse button and pasting with center mouse button.
Regards,
Mark
