But the embedding fonts part will not work for thse "common fonts" such as Times or Symbol. Some publishers ask for embedding "all" fonts. Very helpful.

See <a href="http://landshape.org/enm/?page_id=58" rel="nofollow">here</a> where I have used R, PHP and shell scripts. There are advantages: the figures are always current, people can replicate your analysis easily via the web. There are disadvantages: particularly with R I could find no way for it to output incrementally. It writes to a buffer and dumps a buffer when it finishes. So it is unsuitable for a top level script for writing a web page that works better writing incrementally, so it is viewed in stages, but R can be called as a subscript. There are other disadvantages too, and some of the newer systems like AJAX may be better but its actually hard to find something that integrates analysis with web output well.

Michael Steele Fri, 28 Jul 2006 18:45:33 +0000 http://landshape.org/enm/?p=140#comment-5909 This is a very useful summary of useful tools, some quite familiar to me and others brand new. Rather than books, it seems that the R-preprocessing paradigm is most appropriate for dynamic web pages --- say ones that provide standarized analyses of some current financial data. There would be natural hooks via nice tooks like MySQL, PHP, and Ruby on Rails. We are sure to see lots more of this, and I will pass your essay along to students and friend.
