No, r-package-devel is about developing and publishing R packages, not 
using them.

I don't know the answer to this question.  Others like it tend to appear 
on Stack Overflow with the "knitr" tag, so that might be a better place 
to ask if no answer appears here.  But like here, that forum asks for 
reproducible examples (i.e. the R code that doesn't quite work).
