Not An Introduction to knitr

In knitr: A General-Purpose Package for Dynamic Report Generation in R

The knitr package is an alternative tool to Sweave based on a different design with more features. This document is not an introduction, but only serves as a placeholder to guide you to the real manuals, which are available on the package website https://yihui.org/knitr/ (e.g. the main manual and the graphics manual ), and remember to read the help pages of functions in this package. There is a book "Dynamic Docuemnts with R and knitr" for this package, too.

Anyway, here is a code chunk that shows you can compile vignettes with knitr as well using R 3.0.x, which supports non-Sweave vignettes:

options(digits=4)
rnorm(20)
fit=lm(dist~speed, data=cars)
b=coef(fit)

knitr::kable(summary(fit)$coefficients)

The fitted regression equation is $Y=r b[1]+r b[2]x$.

par(mar=c(4, 4, 1, .1))
plot(cars, pch = 20)
abline(fit, col = 'red')
