Aloha all,

Is it possible to use the noweb syntax to pass LaTeX output from R
into a latex source block? I thought this would work, but the noweb
expansion yields nil.

Please note that this is just a question and not a request for a
change to org-babel. In this particular case, the best solution for
my workflow appears to be sending the table to a file, where I can
tweak the results more easily and completely than I can using the
facilities of the xtable package in R.

It does seem like a potentially useful path, though.

The following source and results blocks illustrate the situation, but
won't run unless you have a whole.adze object in the R session.  If
need be, I can supply an example that will stand alone.

All the best,
Tom

#+begin_src latex
Here is the output of the quantile
function: <<r-weight-quantile()>>.
#+end_src

#+srcname: r-weight-quantile
#+begin_src R :session :noweb :results output
library(xtable)
weight <- quantile(whole.adze$weight)
xtable(as.data.frame(weight))
#+end_src

Hi Tom,

Do you get the behaviour you want if you change that to
':results output latex'?

Dan



Hi Dan,

That changes how the table is wrapped in the results block, from #
+begin_example to #+BEGIN_LaTeX, but the noweb expansion still yields
nil.

Hi Tom,

I'm not sure that I've quite got my head round the various
latex/babel/tangle/export possibilities that have come up in the recent
thread! But I feel that this one should have a solution.

So if I do tangle on the following, I get the output below. Is that
observation relevant to our discussion? What exactly do you mean when
you say the noweb expansion yields nil? Can you explain the exact steps
that you're doing?

Dan

Hi Dan,

Yes, your example works here, too.

The document I'm working on gives this output:

Here is the output of the quantile
function:
nil.

Now that I know it can work, I'll poke around to see what's going wrong. I'll let you know if I find something that might have to do with org-babel.

Tom
