knitr: object cannot be found when converting markdown file into html

Question

Hi I am using R studio and the \"knitHTML\" button to convert my Rmd file into a html file. However, even thought the code runs fine, when using knitHTML it cannot find any

Answer 1

Maybe I am missing something in your question, but if you create object 'cbt_2010' in your .Rmd file, knitr will have that object to work with.

Stated differently, you can find it when you type object 'cbt_2010' at the console because you created that object and it is available to R. You need to do the same in the .Rmd file.

Answer 2

As already mentioned by @BenBolker , you can use knit2html( Note that it is different from the Rstudio button, Rstudio use its own function to process document) from knitr:

 x <- 10
 writeLines(c("# hello markdown",
          "```{r hello-random, echo=TRUE}", 
               "rnorm(x)", "```"), ## note the use of x
 "test.Rmd")
 library(knitr)
 knit2html("test.Rmd")
