Overview

About

Maintained by John SheaCRAN page ↗

Provides several helper functions for working with 'knitr' and 'LaTeX'. It includes 'xTab' for creating traditional 'LaTeX' tables, 'lTab' for generating 'longtable' environments, and 'sTab' for generating a 'supertabular' environment. Additionally, this package contains a knitr_setup() function which fixes a well-known bug in 'knitr', which distorts the 'results="asis"' command when used in conjunction with user-defined commands; and a com command (<<com=TRUE>>=) which renders the output from 'knitr' as a 'LaTeX' command.

Install

R (source archive)

url <- "https://cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/Archive/knitLatex/knitLatex_0.9.0.tar.gz"
pkgFile <- "knitLatex_0.9.0.tar.gz"
download.file(url, pkgFile)
install.packages(pkgFile, type = "source", repos = NULL)

This package is no longer on CRAN, so install.packages() cannot fetch it by name. This downloads the last archived source (0.9.0) and builds it locally. Install its dependencies first, and note that building from source needs the usual compiler toolchain.
