knit_exit: Exit knitting early

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

Exit knitting early

Description

Sometimes we may want to exit the knitting process early, and completely ignore the rest of the document. This function provides a mechanism to terminate knit().

Usage

knit_exit(append, fully = TRUE)

Arguments

append	A character vector to be appended to the results from knit() so far. By default, this is ‘⁠\end{document}⁠’ for LaTeX output, and ‘⁠</body></html>⁠’ for HTML output, to make the output document complete. For other types of output, it is an empty string.
fully	Whether to fully exit the knitting process if knit_exit() is called from a child document. If FALSE, only exit the knitting process of the child document.

Value

Invisible NULL. An internal signal is set up (as a side effect) to notify knit() to quit as if it had reached the end of the document.
