8.1 Other reporting formats

During this workshop, we have focussed on using knitR. You may have noticed that under the New File menu option, there are a number of other formats. These all provide similar functionality to knitR, but with various different strengths and weaknesses. This workbook is written in Sweave, which is somewhat better at producing high-quality PDF format documents, but is also less user friendly than knitR and cannot generate HTML output. The best way to learn about these other formats is just to install R and RStudio on your own computer and start experimenting!
