[R] Sweave

[R. Mark Sharp]

Naresh,

First of all thanks for using reporoducible methods.

I now use knitr instead of Sweave and the switch was fairly trivial. What you are wanting to do has been supported for a few years within RStudio. I found https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200552336-Getting-Help-with-R <https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200552336-Getting-Help-with-R> provided the following guidance with regard to get help with RStudio.

The RStudio Community <http://community.rstudio.com/> is our discussion board for asking questions about R, Shiny, and package development.

In org mode document, it is possible to set a global variable so that, at the time of compilation, embedded code is not rerun.  org mode simply uses the results from the most recently run code and embeds them in the document.  This makes the compilation much faster.  In Sweave, it is possible to achieve this for individual code blocks by setting eval=FALSE.  But in a long document with many code blocks, this method is time consuming.
