Automatically create a report based on an R script and a template
This is a convenience function for small-scale automatic reporting based on
an R script and a template. The default template is an Rnw file (LaTeX);
stitch_rhtml() and stitch_rmd() are wrappers on top of
stitch() using the R HTML and R Markdown templates respectively.
stitch(
script,
template = system.file("misc", "knitr-template.Rnw", package = "knitr"),
output = NULL,
text = NULL,
envir = parent.frame()
)
stitch_rhtml(..., envir = parent.frame())
stitch_rmd(..., envir = parent.frame())script |
Path to the R script. |
template |
Path of the template to use. By default, the Rnw template in this package; there is also an HTML template in knitr. |
output |
Output filename, passed to |
text |
A character vector. This is an alternative way to provide the input file. |
envir |
Environment in which code chunks are to be evaluated, for

The first two lines of the R script can contain the title and author of the report in comments of the form ## title: and ## author:. The template must have a token %sCHUNK_LABEL_HERE, which will be used to input all the R code from the script. See the examples below.
The R script may contain chunk headers of the form ## ---- label, opt1=val1, opt2=val2, which will be copied to the template; if no chunk headers are found, the whole R script will be inserted into the template as one code chunk.

if (interactive()) stitch(s) # compile to PDF
# HTML report
stitch(s, system.file("misc", "knitr-template.Rhtml", package = "knitr"))
# or convert markdown to HTML
stitch(s, system.file("misc", "knitr-template.Rmd", package = "knitr"))
