Description: This package provides a general-purpose tool for dynamic
report generation in R, which can be used to deal with any type
of (plain text) files, including Sweave and HTML. The patterns
of code chunks and inline R expressions can be customized. R
code is evaluated as if it were copied and pasted in an R
terminal thanks to the evaluate package (e.g. we do not need to
explicitly print() plots from ggplot2 or lattice). R code can
be reformatted by the formatR package so that long lines are
automatically wrapped, with indent and spaces being added, and
comments being preserved.  A simple caching mechanism is
provided to cache results from computations for the first time
and the computations will be skipped the next time.  Almost all
common graphics devices, including those in base R and add-on
packages like Cairo, cairoDevice and tikzDevice, are built-in
with this package and it is straightforward to switch between
devices without writing any special functions. The width and
height as well as alignment of plots in the output document can
be specified in chunk options (the size of plots for graphics
devices is still supported as usual). Multiple plots can be
recorded in a single code chunk, and it is also allowed to
rearrange plots to the end of a chunk or just keep the last
plot. Warnings, messages and errors are written in the output
document by default (can be turned off).  Currently LaTeX, HTML
and Markdown are supported, and other output formats can be
supported by hook functions. The large collection of hooks in
this package makes it possible for the user to control almost
everything in the R code input and output. Hooks can be used
either to format the output or to run a specified R code
fragment before or after a code chunk. Most features are
borrowed or inspired by Sweave, cacheSweave, pgfSweave, brew
and decumar.
