In the previous tutorials we’ve learned about the R Markdown
format and how to create a report using R Markdown
in RStudio
. In this tutorial, we will render or knit
an R Markdown
document to a web friendly, html
format using the R
knitr
package. knitr
can be used to convert R Markdown
files to many different formats including: html
, pdf
, GitHub markdown (.md
) and more.

What is Knitr?
knitr
is the R
package that we use to convert an R Markdown
document into another, more user friendly format like .html
or .pdf
.
The knitr
package allows us to:


- Publish & share preliminary results with collaborators.
- Create professional reports that document our workflow and results directly from our code, reducing the risk of accidental copy and paste or transcription errors.
- Document our workflow to facilitate reproducibility.
- Efficiently change code outputs (figures, files) given changes in the data, methods, etc.
The knitr
package was designed to be a transparent engine for dynamic report generation with R

When To Knit: Knitting is a useful exercise throughout your scientific workflow. It allows you to see what your outputs look like and also to test that your code runs without errors. The time required to knit depends on the length and complexity of the script and the size of your data.
