In knitr, no output from pander in for loop

问题

Using knitr in RStudio, pander does not produce any (or correct) html output when in a for loop. Here is a minimal case, as an Rmd input file.

---
title: "Untitled"
output: html_document
---

Testing why pander doesn't work in for loop

```{r global_options, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(fig.width=7, fig.height=5, echo=FALSE, warning=FALSE,
  message=FALSE)

```

```{r}
library(pander)

r <- 1:10
print("pander at top level")   
pander(summary(r))    # works

print("pander in for loop")
for (i in 1:2) pander(summary(r))    #does not work (nothing in output)
for (i in 1:2) print(pander(summary(r)))    #does not work  (code in output)
for (i in 1:2) print(summary(r))    # works

```

The result is the same for other (more interesting) "summary" objects, e.g. a summary of an lm fit. The same behavior was observed for pander 0.5.2 from CRAN, and also 0.5.3 loaded from github.

@daroczig answered in the comments :

change knitr chunk option results to asis, either at the global level knitr::opts_chunk$set(results="asis") or at the chunk level ```{r,results="asis"}
disable panderOption knitr.auto.asis : panderOptions('knitr.auto.asis', FALSE)

Cf. this issue

title: "Untitled"

Testing **when** pander doesn't work in for loop

```{r global_options, include=FALSE}
knitr::opts_chunk$set(fig.width=7, fig.height=5, echo=TRUE, warning=FALSE,
  message=FALSE)

```

```{r,results="asis"}
library(pander)
panderOptions('knitr.auto.asis', FALSE)

r <- 1:10

for (i in 1:2) pander(summary(r))

```
