Thanks for making papaja. It's really terrific!
I just submitted my first journal article using it and ran into problems. The layout staff don't know what to do with the code chunks and listings that are fine in single-column, full page format, but not in their 2-column format. I'm trying use the class 'jou' option to make 2 columns, but I can't figure out how to control the size of code and listing fonts (possibly by modifying the css, as recommended here), or how to using the latex package 'listings' to set listings to wrap (as recommended here).
I'd be grateful for any advice, and my apologies if I've missed how one might do this in the documentation.
If it's only about getting the listings package to work, you can modify the YAML header that it looks similar to the following:
documentclass : "apa6"
classoption : "jou"
output :
papaja::apa6_pdf:
pandoc_args: --listings
header-includes:
- \lstset{breaklines=true}
However, note that using automatic line breaks will most likely break the code at some points. Therefore, it is worthwhile to consider alternatives: For instance, you could try to use a code style that uses more line breaks. The styler package and add-in might be helpful accomplishing this: https://styler.r-lib.org/

Based on the answer to this question, I was able to get 2-column papaja with listings wrapping (rather than overflowing column width). But the listings package turns off various features that help code listings and R output stand out relative to the main text.
A simple solution would be if I could globally change the font faces and/or sizes selectively for code and R output. Is there a way to do that in papaja? I haven't been able to figure this out from papaja or Rmarkdown documentation. Thank you!
When you use the listings package in a papaja (or bookdown) document, what is technically happening is that all code is wrapped into an lstlisting LaTeX environment that comes with its own capabilities of customizing code appearance. Hence, you don't see the syntax highlighting that you would otherwise see if you would not use the listings package. The documentation of the listings package with instructions how to style your code can be found here.
To make use of this, you can extend the YAML header of your papaja document like this:
documentclass : "apa6"
classoption : "jou"
output :
papaja::apa6_pdf:
pandoc_args: --listings
header-includes:
- \lstset{breaklines=true,language=R,basicstyle=\tiny\ttfamily,frame=trB,commentstyle=\color{darkgray}\textit}
Here, I first specify the code's language, and use a tiny monospace font. With frame, I add a frame around the code block, and with commentstyle I set comments in italic and gray.
I am using the MDPI template (from the rticles package), and keen to also use the glossaries packages so I don't have to manually feed all the abbreviation on the appropriate YAML field.
For such, I have loaded the LaTex package glossaries using the header-includes:
header-includes:
\usepackage{inputenc}
\usepackage[acronym, section=section]{glossaries}
\setacronymstyle{long-short}
\makeglossaries
\makeindex
\input{glossary}
after creating several acronyms within the Rmarkdown body, I would be willing to either input the latex commands and have it printed in within the "Abbreviations" section of the template.
Currently, I am able to hack it through the following steps (I am sure there is a better way):
1- keep all the aux files chunk with :
options(tinytex.clean = FALSE)
2- cmd makeglossaries "filename"
3- Raw Latex on Rmarkdown file:
\begin{abbreviations}
\setabbreviationstyle[acronym]{long-short}
\printglossary[type=\acronymtype,title={}]
\end{abbreviations}
However, I would be keen to know if I could insert something on the YAML and use the MDPI formatting.
Alternatively, I could edit the rticles MDPI template (but I am not sure how).
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Include in YAML:
include-after: glossary.tex
I tried without success, but it seems reasonable that this approach might work with a few modifications
I've found several ways to automate folder comparison using scripts in Beyond Compare, but none that produce the pretty html report created from Session>Folder Compare Report>View in browser.
Here is an example of what that looks like.
I would love to be able to find the script that gives me that html difference report.
Thanks!
This is what I am currently getting
load "C:\Users\UIDQ5763\Desktop\Enviornment.cpp" &
"C:\Users\UIDQ5763\Desktop\GreetingsConsoleApp"
folder-report layout:side-by-side options:display-all &
output-to:C:\Users\UIDQ5763\Report.html output-options:html-color
The documentation for Beyond Compare's scripting language is here. You were probably missing either layout:side-by-side, which gives the general display, or output-options:html-color which is required to get the correct HTML stylized output. You may want to change options:display-all to options:display-mismatches if you only want to see the differences, and you might want to add an expand all command immediately before the folder-report line if you want to see the subfolders recursively.'
The & characters shown in the sample are line continuation characters. Remove them if you don't need to wrap your lines.
I am using better bibtex and zotero to generate references in rmarkdown.
It works very good except that journal articles and books have an url/doi associated.
My adviser is not too happy about it and I could not figure out how to disable the url/doi in the rmarkdown config or elsewhere.
What I know is that you have to edit your *.csl file (asa.csl, apa.csl or something you use). You could accomplish this very easy by uploading it to this online csl editor. Browse to bibliography/layout/access(macro)/Group/conditional/ and look if there is an URL entry. I got rid of the DOI by setting an option there that the variable should be 'url' AND the document type 'webpage'. Then download the new *csl file, save it to your prefered directory and just knit it. (Look also here with pictures).
Note: Please make rather a safety copy before messing around with your *csl.
I am looking for some blog site where i will be able to directly paste c++ code examples
in my publishes and see the code with all the alignments and colors like i see it on pastie.org.
I need all those things be made automatically because i don't know HTML and can't make by myself the code changes.
Get wordpress + WP-Syntax.
You won't be able to "copy and paste" the code directly, but you'll have to wrap it like this:
<pre lang="c++">
CODE GOES HERE
</pre>
I use this JavaScript for syntax highlighting in blogger. It's very easy to use.
The key feature of above highlihter is that script permanently hosted on http://softwaremaniacs.org/, so that make it possible is to use script on blogger.com.
Another one nice syntax highlighter could be found at code.google.com (it could be integrated in blogger.com).
(source: googlecode.com)
I use the "Online syntax highlighting" at http://tohtml.com
Paste your code in the text box there, select the programming language and color scheme and it will generate a webpage with your syntax highlighted code. Copy and paste that into your blogger editor and you are good to go.
