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.
Below are code chunk examples:

Estimate | Std. Error | t value | Pr(>|t|) | |
---|---|---|---|---|
(Intercept) | -17.579 | 6.758 | -2.601 | 0.012 |
speed | 3.932 | 0.416 | 9.464 | 0.000 |
The fitted regression equation is \(Y=-17.6+3.93x\).
