Novice here so apologise for my gross incompetence. Thanks in advance for any help or support you can offer.
I am using R bookdown to write my thesis, supplemented by some embedded latex to help prepare and format my pdf. It has gone quite well so far however I have now come across an issue that I just can't solve...
My thesis is split into two large sections and each section requires its own bibliography. I have seperate bib files for each bibliography. My problem is that I cannot manage to work out how to get the two bibliographies into my document (using apacite). I have had a look at the latex package documentation for apacite and bibunits but my attempts to follow there examples repeatedly do not work.
If anyone could post a working example of how to achieve this I would be eternally grateful!
Many thanks!

I receiving the following error when I try to knit into a pdf:
! Dimension too large.
\fb#put#frame ...p \ifdim \dimen# >\ht \#tempboxa
\fb#putboxa #1\fb#afterfra...
It's an extremely long line of code that I need to knit into a pdf (about 5000 lines). A lot of preprocessing data. The output itself is quite small maybe a line or more. Has anyone had this issue with huge blocks of code? If so, could you tell me how you solved it? I'm up for suggestions.
That's a LaTeX framed package error. RMarkdown tries to put all of that code into a single environment (I believe it's a snugshade environment, but I might be wrong), and that environment isn't ready for something that's going to stretch over many pages. The most I managed to get was about 1300 lines which were broken up into 48 pages of code.
The simplest solution would be to break that up into 4 or 5 pieces, but that might not be easy for you to do.
Next simplest might be not to show it as code at all: use echo = FALSE in the code chunk that runs it, and include it some other way (e.g. in a verbatim environment, or using the listings package). With that much code, showing it as a couple of hundred pages of text doesn't really make much sense anyway.
I have searched high and low for some help regarding AutoCAD Link Templates.
I have managed to create a connection between AutoCAD and my SQL server. I am able to view the servers tables from AutoCAD.
My next task is to find a way to create a link between the properties of an Object in my drawing (eg. The text of a Label) to a row in my SQL table, To the point where I could change the value of that row in SQL, and it would change the text value of the object within my AutoCAD.
Like I said i am struggling to find sources of information or any help at all with achieving this. Which is why I am here now asking if anyone could give me and help or advice with how I would achieve this.
Anything is appreciated, thank you in advance.
I know links are looked down on but a very brief Google search (link AutoCAD and database) brought back a LOT of relevant links. Here's the first one, directly from Autodesk: About Database Links and Link Templates
I am a Ph.D student, and I usually write articles which are later proof-read by my supervisor. I usually do it in LaTeX and reviews are done to the PDF outputs in Adobe Reader itself. There are mostly grammatical ones and mostly I miss prepositions and conjuctions in fast writing. To re-phrase everything I have to manually enter everything in my LaTeX script again.
This seems to be hell lot of work and this goes on multiple times sometimes. Is there any software in current world that makes the task easier? For example, if a text stuck out for grammar errors and suggested alternatives, can I accept the changes to replace old one with new phrase or sentence and also able to blank out the striked text. Please suggest me a tool which really makes my life easier.
You may want to take a look at the following link. It has some good information about version controlling.

You could attach the LaTeX sources to the PDF (with the attachfile2 package), so reviewers can directly edit the source and send that back. Or you try to accept comments to the PDF, but currently only Adobe Reader and Foxit allow that - and not on Linux.
I was wondering, it would be great to know how to allow users to format their posts in Ruby on Rails 3. Ideally, i was wondering if there are any gems or solutions to implementing a formatting system similar to stackoverflow, where the user can bold and underline text, and so on (ie provides a little partial above the post input field similar to the one above the input field we use to ask questions).
Any ideas?
Thanks everyone!
If anyone is still interested in this question, there are a bunch of options for formatting comments and for text editor helpers.
To be brief, I've checked out a whole bunch of options - but I found one that I think is awesome: ckeditor. Check it out at https://github.com/galetahub/ckeditor
I am trying to simplify a process where I currently use my hand calculations of X & Y Co-Ordinates of each value. Which works fine, but is causing me a lot of pain as I have to do quite a number of PDF's.
I know that I can open a PDF and insert "input fields" within Adobe Acrobat Pro, which it would be great if I could use PHP to connect to those input fields and insert a value from a PHP Form.
WORKFLOW::
PHP FORM >>> PHP PROCESSING ENGINE >>> TO FINAL PDF WITH FORM VALUES IN THE LOCATION OF THE ADOBE INPUT FIELDS.
If someone has some information on something like this it would be much appreciated.
I know this is not a direct answer to your question, but maybe it will save you some time.
We tried doing something similar and ended up abandoning the idea of doing this programatically ourselves. It was much more cost-efficient to just buy this product: http://www.evermap.com/automailmerge.asp?gclid=CPfW44DNsKYCFULNKgodyV6Rnw
as the cost of paying me to write similar functionality was not a good ROI.
However, a similar (but not exact duplicate) qhestion has been asked here, and you may be able to get ideas from it.
How to do mail merge on top of a PDF?
Your PHP script could generate an FDF that your PDF could import and obtain values from.
