Frank,

Your template is very interesting. The "pretty-ifing" of the left arrow and tilde in the input chunk has the unfortunate side-effect of making the code non-paste-able into R.

Kevin,

I haven't needed to do that. It's best to make the .Rnw file available to others, or to tangle the file to isolate the R code.


I seem to recall that your reports used to include the latex source code as an appendix. Maybe one option could be to include an appendix with

I only do that for stat computing presentations not for routine reports.

the results of Stangle applied to the .Rnw file, formatted as plain text. This would create a concise collection of all the necessary code to reproduce the results.

I'll probably go the separate file route using Stangle.

Just brainstorming here....

    Dear Group,

    I have made significant improvements to our Sweave template, have
    made the template self-contained (i.e., you can run it yourself and
    it will find the datasets it needs), and have included the output
    pdf file. This is at http://biostat.mc.vanderbilt.edu/SweaveTemplate
    .  You will see in the pdf file the enhancements in how R code is
    pretty-printed, and I have added an example where some R function
    output is suppressed from the listing that Sweave typesets.  The new
    template also suggests how to auto-document the computing
    environment at the end of the report, and how to properly reference
    R and add-on packages.  Figures are centered (but not as nicely as
    Marc Schwartz' approach) and better defaults are used for axis label
    and tick mark label positioning.

    Thanks to Romain Francois for providing the trick of suppressing
    parts of R output (replacing it with ...) and Peter Ruckdeschel for
    his excellent SweaveListingUtils package.  Suggestions for further
    improvements are welcomed.

    Frank
