The error happens when importing the Rnw in LyX, which from what I understand currently calls the Rnw -> LaTeX (plain) converter and then run tex2lyx. > I think I do not understand what you do exactly. Does the same happen with > Sweave (I do not have knitr here)? Yes, the same happens with Sweave because the converter Sweave -> LaTeX (plain) has a $$e and that string is set to empty because of the following code: command = subst(command, token_encoding, buffer ? buffer->params().encoding().iconvName() : string()); > Could you send me an example file and a > step by step description of what you actually do? Yes. I've been using the example file that comes with LyX but I think that the same error would occur with trying to import any .Rnw file via Sweave or knitr. 1. Start a clean LyX instance from current master branch (although I have the same problem in branch. I wonder if importing a .Rnw has worked at some point?). 2. File > Open > Examples button > sweave.lyx 3. File > Export > Export As > [tempfolder]/sweaveexample.Rnw (select the Sweave (.Rnw) format) 4. Close the current document (the sweave.lyx file) just to make sure that it's not involved with the import probem. 5. File > Import > Sweave... > [tempfolder]/sweaveexample.Rnw 6. At this point I get an error. Here are steps to show that (1) it is indeed the Sweave -> LaTeX (plain) converter that is being used and (2) that setting the $$e variable improves things: 7. Close the error box from (6). 8. Go to Tools > Preferences > File Handling > Converters > select Sweave -> LaTeX (plain) and in the Converter text box manually delete "$$e" and insert in it's place "ISO-8859-15" so that the converter is now: Rscript --verbose --no-save --no-restore $$s/scripts/lyxsweave.R $$p$$i $$p$$o ISO-8859-15 $$r 9. Click the Modify button. 10. Click the Save button. 11. Repeat step (5). 12. The .Rnw is now partly imported. There will be other problems in the import process which I think are due to tex2lyx, but these problems are different from the Rnw -> tex problem I am reporting here. Is the solution to modify lyxsweave.R and lyxknitr.R so that if they are not passed an encoding they should just not change the encoding from the default R one? This would be easy to do. Thanks, Scott
