[R-wiki] [Fwd: Sweave to wiki script]

[Ben Bolker]

  Thanks, Martin.
  A couple of other things: since I don't have DokuWiki installed
locally, developing wiki pages means being online.  And I know
LaTeX much better than wiki code.  And the "preview" mode
in the wiki is somewhat slow.

  The code is definitely a draft-0, but I will try to improve it.
