Nobody's yet mentioned that the latest version of Emacs Org mode (http://orgmode.org/) ships with an ODT (OpenDocument Text) exporter. This means that a person can now use the same single plain text file to integrate R code (and/or 30+ other languages) to process: - HTML: C-c C-e h- LaTeX: C-c C-e l- PDF: C-c C-e p (via pdflatex)- ODT: C-c C-e o- ...etc. You get syntax highlighting, integrated math formulae, code tangling,... there's even an elementary table editor for simple spreadsheet operations. And again, all exported formats originate from the same plain text file. MS-Word can definitely read HTML, and when I last checked (long ago) there existed plugins for MS_Word to read .odt. Of course, LibreOffice can convert ODT (and HTML) to MS-Word if necessary. GoogleDocs does an OK job converting back and forth, too, and if this option is available to you there are some pretty cool Google collaborative tools. On the flipside, Emacs in general is a tough pill to swallow, and that's an understatement. Two parting thoughts:1) Org mode is similar to, but not identical with, Sweave.2) Org mode originated as an organization/outlining tool, so it has all sorts of tricks for "Getting Things Done", such as TODO lists, agendas, capturing-archiving, calendar integration, time tracking,... These could possibly address some of the other issues you mentioned. Good luck, and Happy New Year.Jay ************************************* G.
