I am using biblatex with bibtex in backend (MikTex) for generating dynamic statistical reports with knitr (sweave) in Rstudio which is realy a great combination of tools.
I have with difficulty created my own bibliography style (.bst file) with custom-bib (for British Journal of Neurosurgery)
Unfortunately, .bst files doesnt work with biblatex and custom-bib is not a very pratical tool. More over knitr/Rstudio doesn't work with biber. I haven't try to create manually my own style as it seems quite complicated.
I will have to create more styles for publishing in medicals journals which have often their own bibliography style.
My Questions are:
How can I easily create or customize bibliography styles for to use with biblatex/Rstudio/knitr/Sweave ?
I have briefly and unsuccessfully try with Jabref, Bib-it.
The only practicale solution I have found is to create my own style with CSL Visual Editor and then secondary use it with Zotero/ Mendeley in a .odt document after having converted my Rsweave PDF document in a .odt file.
I search extensively the web without finding THE solution.
Any clue ?
Thanks

I want to automate creating of a powerpoint ppt via linking template charts to some Excel files. Updating the excel file values changes the powerpoint slides automatically. I have created my powerpoint template and linked charts to sample excel files data.
I want to send the folder with the powerpoint and excel files to someone else. But this will break the link to excel files due to change in the path. (As path is not relative). I can edit the paths manually by going under the "edit links to files" option under File Menu but this is tedious as charts are numerous with multiple files.
I want to update the same via Python code using the Python-Pptx package.
Please help!
There's no API support for this in the current version of python-pptx.
You would need to modify the underlying XML directly, perhaps using python-pptx internals as a starting point and using lxml calls on the appropriate element objects. If you search on "python-pptx workaround function" you will find some examples.
Another thing to consider is modifying the XML by cruder but still possibly effective means by accessing the XML files in the .pptx package directly (the .pptx file is a Zip archive of largely XML files) and using regular expressions or perhaps a command line tool like sed or awk to do simple text substitution.
Either way you're going to need to want it pretty badly, depending on your Python skill level. You'll also of course need to discover just which strings in which parts of the XML are the ones that need changing. opc-diag can be helpful for that, but it's a bit of detective work even with the best tools.
How can I convert a Google Docs, which contains images and tables, into a Markdown file which can be published as a post using Jekyll?
Is it possible to first export the Google Docs into a PDF and then convert the PDF to Markdown? What will happen to the images and tables in that case?
May 2018 Update
The script originally suggested in this answer appears to no longer work and has not been updated for 5 years.
An alternative solution (which is based on the old script) can be found at https://github.com/evbacher/gd2md-html
I tried it out, it works pretty well.
Previous Answer
You can use a Google Script to do the conversion for you!
This one will let you convert to .md and it will email you the converted file. I've tested it and works fine. It works with basic tables, and if you have images in the doc, it will attach them to the email.
Instructions for installing are on the same link, in the GitHub description, but I pasted it here for ease of access:
Add the script:
Open your Google Drive document (http://drive.google.com)
Tools ->
Script Manager > New
Select "Blank Project", then paste this code in
and save.
Clear the myFunction() default empty function and paste the
contents of converttomarkdown.gapps into the code editor
File -> Save
Run the script:
Tools > Script Manager
Select "ConvertToMarkdown" function.
Click Run
button (First run will require you to authorize it. Authorize and run
again)
Converted doc with images attached will be emailed to you.
Subject will be "[MARKDOWN_MAKER]...".
Good luck!
You can export as HTML. Jekyll can serve static HTML files.
Btw, "standard" markdown doesn't have tables. There are implementation that have it, but I'm afraid you'll have to convert them by hand to the right format, which will be implementation dependent. I don't know about Jekyll, maybe it's easiest to just use HTML tables within the markdown text.
You could create a new theme based on the HTML export. The export should contain the stylesheet embedded in a <style> tag within the HTML document. It's not really easy to create new themes, but doable. Or, if you just want the content and don't mind using whatever Jekyll theme you already have, then you can cut out the stylesheet part and keep the html only.
Another option would be to change how files are delimited in Excel on your computer. This guide can help you do that (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/21456/export-or-save-excel-files-with-pipe-or-other-delimiters-instead-of-commas/)
Then every time you copy and paste from excel to a markdown file/jekyll you automatically have the pipes. All you will need to do is add some dashes to separate your topline..
Google Docs -> docx to Markdown -> md
I myself looked far and wide but I believe the best way to do this is by using Pandoc.
Works for all platforms (check their incredible website ) , what you are looking for is the following command on your cmd or PowerShell (Windows) :
pandoc input_filename.docx -s -o output.md
Pro Tip:
Pandoc comes with a little trick to store up even all of the images in your document to your custom folder and then adding the image tags in the markdown by using relative referencing to those images at the correct places. The amazing line of code is:
pandoc --extract-media ./your_custom_folder input_filename.docx -o output_filename.md
We are using Cimplicity to operate some installations at our plant. The frontend consists of a lot of .cim files, which are the screens presented to the operator. These files are built with 'cimedit', which is basically a graphical click and drag program with which you can assemble the screens. Each object you drag onto the screen has the option to run a script, which brings me to my problem.
Because each screen contains a lot of small scripts and functions it is hard to keep track of what does what. For example I'm trying to figure out where a certain table from my database is being accessed or updated. Since the files all seem to be compressed (or so) I can't use a regular 'search the contents of this file' search.
Things I've tried so far are searching using windows, with the content option enabled and also tried the compression option. This had no success. It makes sense because like I said, the files seem to be compressed, so the actual script is not stored in plain text.
So, my question in short:
How do I search all the scripts of (preferably multiple) cimplicity screens?
Any tips on how to search compressed files are also very much appreciated.
I stumbled upon another stackoverflow post while searching for a better windows search tool and ended up finding this post: https://superuser.com/questions/26593/best-way-to-confidently-search-files-and-contents-in-windows-without-using-an
This posts recommends Agent Ransack and it is actually possible to search through the .cim files with this tool.
My thesis is written in b5j documentclass style.
\documentclass[b5j,twoside,12pt]{report}
I have a paper that is appended at the end. However this is written in b5paper style as an article.
\documentclass[12pt,b5paper,twoside]{article}
How do I get the paper to follow the japanese style? Havent found any b5paperj options in the geometry package.. :-/
It is possible to build the paper that must be appended separately and input it in your document using pdfpages. This way you don't have to control both styles and the package provides enough flexibility to make it look like you want to.
Is there a way to display all functions in a C source file using vim. This feature is available with the brief editor. And this would help me a lot.
Note: This is not a programming question.
I think the Taglist plugin is what you are looking for. It shows functions, classes etc. in a sidebar and is designed to make source code browsing a lot easier.
I use this one. 0scan
You can make incremental search on all functions in the current file using tag search mechanism.
0scan is designed to perform lots of different searches. And here you can find how to search for a functions and objects in the current file.
