R & Docbook

This is a page where we collect some of the materials related to how we use Docbook with the R programming language and environment. This includes:

Software

  • Rdocbook.el
    Emacs Lisp code to provide convenient facilities for authoring R-Docbook documents. These facilities include inserting R-specific nodes, compound Docbook templates/nodes for, e.g., a section. They also allow the author to evaluate R code within an R session directly from the R-Docbook document and include the output into the r:code node.

    Documentation for the emacs bindings and functions.

  • XML template for an R-Docbook document.
  • pdf2index
    pdf2index is a Perl script that comes with the Docbook-XSL distribution and is used to build indices in a particular manner. We have extended the script to handle documents with multiple indices (e.g. with different types). We also added some error checking to indicate if pstotext is not found.
